Volunteer and Donation Opportunities

Recovering from Hurricane Helene will be a long-term process and volunteer help will be needed for months to come. For their own safety and to be most helpful, volunteers should work through an organization and not deploy on their own. If you are interested in volunteering, you can register at nc.gov/volunteernc or www.unitedwaync.org or by contacting one of the NC VOADS (www.ncvoad.org/members).
