Rescue Carolina: Locals helping locals in Western NC

Donation protected
Friends,

In the last week, we have been working with our neighbors in Western North Carolina to provide direct relief to those most impacted by Hurricane Helene. In the wake of risen water, entire communities are experiencing hunger, thirst, and homelessness, often in areas not reached by news cameras.

While the flooding and mudslides swallowed homes, roads, and gathering places, they did not–could not–overcome the spirit of this place. We are a resilient region, a community bolstered by our bond with the land and our collective restoration, even in the shadow of devastation.

On October 11th, proceeds from Woody’s album release concert in Brevard will benefit our efforts to “Rescue Carolina.” The concert will be livestreamed here: https://www.facebook.com/share/t37pps7UwRhe5pXa/

As we continue providing critical, basic aid to help families get back on their feet, we welcome your support. Because of our proximity, local knowledge, and relationships, 100% of funds will go directly to individuals impacted by the storm–locals helping locals. Together, we’ll make it through.

With deep thanks,
Shannon and Woody
