Helene Response

Mods: Park this thread where it belongs. The call needs to go out on all available channels for this crisis. Our state and neighboring states need much help. Samaritan Purse is a great organization you can trust. Use this link to give or volunteer your services/time...

Someone here posted Samaritan's Purse, the Baptist charity, previously. The Methodists are also there with UMCOR, and we've been collecting for relief through my church in New York. You can do so too at this site. Global Ministries - UMCOR US Disaster Response and Recovery

Samaritan s Purse is by far the best.
Very reputable. Sound business practices. Minimal cost diversion to admin costs.
Very good people. I have personal experience be with them. Universally great people.

Check out Operation BBQ Relief. They provide hot meals after natural disasters strike. They were on site in Florida the day after Helene hit and were in Tennessee and North Carolina as soon as conditions allowed. They are currently serving approximately 50,000 meals a day across multiple locations. Very sound and responsible with all donations they receive.

Gave to them, Appalachian Service Project (who has already built a home in Asheville), and Hot Springs Library Fund (City of Hot Springs)

$300 load of waters, charcoal, grills, trash bags, wipes, clothing etc. NC Needs our help. And more than that they DONT need our stupid ass conspiracy theories. Look past your own political affiliation and help fellow man.

Churches of CHRIST Disaster Relief Fund. They put on their website every Disaster they send too over years the invoicing and so far for this Disaster we're all truckload of materials have gone and will be going. Great place to send your dollars. In CHRIST Alone

Thanks for the info. I want to lake sure my donation goes directly towards East TN community. The Red Cross is a great organization but the $$ is deposited into a pool before for all disasters.

Also, I encourage anyone profiting from ticket sales to donate a portion of profit to this cause, even $10. Every dollar will help!

Yeah, I just left there. I didn’t see FEMA at all. Had to call my buddies wife because he’s too damn stubborn. It’s a SS there. Lines down and they will be lucky to have power within the week. Dropped off canned goods, gas, and a generator. Slept in the spare bedroom with the windows open and heard generators all night. Yeah, don’t listen to any moron online.
