#Helene #HowToHelp thread:
If you're in the NC Triangle, 2 locations to drop supplies off to be delivered by Day One Relief (likely by air):
- Carrboro: Back Alley Bikes, 100 Boyd St. Open Tues/Sat 11-6
- Durham: Art Post, 718 Iredell. Open Mon-Say 12-6
(I'll add more as I learn; feel free to add your own information)

I've done the sensible thing and made a google sheet of organizations taking donations and distributing aid in #WesternNC.

I'm trying to lift up those organizations that are already established in the areas they serve, and already know how to help those who need it most urgently. If there are others you trust and want me to add, please message me.
If you're in NC, please also check with your local fire departments, churches, animal shelters, etc. So many of these groups are collecting donations and working through established channels to get them delivered to people who desperately need them!
@DrTCombs Here’s a text-only news site from Blue Ridge Public Radio that’s useful for slow internet in western NC; might be worth passing along to people you know?
