A Note on this Fund

As a staff comprised of community organizers and mutual aid volunteers, we recognize the need for both immediate response and long-term recovery efforts in our region. For immediate, on the ground response, we recommend donating to mutual aid collectives in the areas feeling the impact of Hurricane Helene. The Appalachian Helene Response Fund will be working with member partners in the community on intermediate and long-term recovery efforts in affected communities. We are committed to deepening our partnerships with those working on the ground and in ways that are generative, restorative, and non-extractive.
