Directly Support the People of WNC
The rescue, supply, and rebuild effort is done in the vast majority from the community itself, not by large government organizations. Below are some local, boots-on-the-ground, efforts that go directly to helping WNC.
IF you know someone in WNC, we suggest you donate directly to that person, if not, these are great options.
Always Put “HELENE SUPPORT” in the Memo

Support Canton Small Businesses
Each of these businesses has been affected, and all in different ways. Please, if you have been to these businesses and love them, we ask you for support. This helps bring the community back to life. Small businesses are run by people that have passion and put their entire lives into being community focused; they provide employment, culture, diversity, support, just to name a few. Some of the businesses will need donations to keep the business going or supply their/the employees needs if their homes have sustained damage. Some choose to pass the donation along to make free meals, buy supplies to donate, and directly help displaced families.
