Donation Drive: North Carolina Hurricane Relief

AVECC is hosting a community supply drive for the west North Carolina victims of Hurricane Helene. AVECC is partnering with Surry-Yakin Electric Membership Cooperative (SYEMC) in Dobson, North Carolina. AVECC will ship the donated supplies to SYEMC, which will then deliver them directly to rural electric members in need. 

 

Affected cooperative members are not only trying to survive but are also learning to live in the aftermath of this devastating storm. Supplies needed include, but are not limited to, winter clothing, diapers, toiletries, disinfectant wipes, cleaning supplies (especially for mold), utensils, fire starters, gloves, duct tape, Ziplock bags, and more. 

 

Donations may be dropped off at any AVECC office. 

You may donate until Friday, November 8, 2024.
