We were overwhelmed with the initial response from our community, which is why we have kept these collections going, and growing, to help as many as we can.
2024 Hurricane Support
Why We Want To Help
Based out of Winston Salem North Carolina, we have team members, friends, and family that were hit hard by hurricane Helene. It was devistating to our infastructure, and nobody could have anticipated how bad it was going to be. We felt helpless not being able to do anything, which led us to create these collections.
American Red Cross
We chose to support the American Red Cross because we have seen firsthand how much good they do.
Back in 2019 (hurricane Dorian) one of our founders was stranded for almost a week due to flooding from a hurricane in South Carolina. They were not only rescued by a local Red Cross chapter, but spent the week volunteering untill they could evacuate. From setting up food & water distribution centers, to sheltering hundreds, it was clear the organization is truly hands on, and does what they say they do.
