NCOA Hurricane Helene Relief for northern Mitchell County,NC

NC Outdoor Adventures is organizing this fundraiser to support the northern end of Mitchell County. NCOA has run a small adventure company in Mitchel County for over 10 years. We will distribute funds raised as needed throughout the communities along the Toe River, including Green Mountain, Red Hill, Huntdale, Tipton Hill, Pigeon Roost, Poplar, and Relief areas. These areas have been cut off from the outside due to washed-out roads and mudslides. The N. Toe River rose over 35 feet and devastated the area. The swinging bridge is gone, and the tunnel under the railroad tracks is half full of mud, and the mud continues up the road.

It is unsafe to travel into the area, so we plan to use the funds locally and give directly to the people in the area. So much is needed to get things back to resembling 'normal'. Your donation doesn't need to break the bank. NCOA has over 18K followers, so imagine if each one donated $5. That would get us to 90% of our goal!!!

You may contact NCOA via Facebook. Their communications are limited, so please be patient for an answer. Christy has started posting updates and videos of the area. This has been truly heartbreaking, not only as an outsider seeing the news but also the feeling of helplessness since we are unable to get into the area to help right now. Please help any way you can.
