We'd like to spotlight Rebuilding Hollers - Come Hell or High Waters for what they have done and are doing for the community. They made "Roses Parking Lot" known Nationwide within days of the storm coming. They've helped facilitate thousands of supplies and donations to people that absolutely need it.

They've turned focus to building and rebuilding the Mountains, because noone is coming to save Yancey and Mitchell Counties. It will take donations and support from outside to complete this. Please take a look at their page and donate/support where you can. Thank you!

Just wanted to give a little update on the amazing support we have been giving Yancey county thanks to ALL OF YOU! 💪🏻💥

We've been diligently working behind the scenes and via weekly runs to the area taking only requested items, fulfilling individual needs and sending much needed goods to those displaced.

Thanks to you all we've been able to provide generators, heaters, winter gear, work gear, essential supplies and even some Christmas wishlist items to those families who lost everything. We've also been able to provide volunteers thanks to so many reaching out and wanting to help- a truly invaluable tool at the moment.

We can promise you all of your donations (physical and monetary) are going to the best use possible and being taken where NEEDED.

We'd like to thank our friend for her incredible commitment to providing for the community, for weeks on end. And a special thank you to church in Tega Cay for being on call for any support including having a roof fixed for a family of five within days of the request.

We are continuing to evolve our support as needs progress and are happy to do so as long as needed. We can. So we will. 🫶🏼

This is why clothes aren't being accepted as donations in the majority of centers and cities‼️

When you just bag up clothes this is the result that volunteers are left with. This is an actual donation site in Burnsville. They are already completely overwhelmed and under powered with hands on help and very limited indoor space. ALL distribution sites are BEGGING for volunteers to help sort.

IF you have somewhere accepting clothing please:
▪️ONLY donate new or like new (no holes, stains, etc)
▪️SORT AND LABEL (Gender, Size, Type, Season)
▪️ ONLY donate clothes that can be used right now

This will greatly help the chaos that has ensued. They want to clothe their locals, they want the items to help, but this has just become too much for most 😫.

If you want to take a trip and volunteer let us know and we can direct you!

It's getting cold ya'll and the power is still out for most homes, especially up the mountain.

If you have:
Generators
Portable Heaters
Portable power banks (used for camping)
Propane
Kerosene
Camping stoves

We will take them.

The remaining power outages from are now just under 21,000 customers for the state. The worst counties that are still out: Mitchell County is 32% out, Yancey is 30% out, Avery is 8%, and Buncombe is 7%.
