If you've seen the devastating pictures of the damage caused by Hurricane Helene, you know it's going to be a long road to recovery. Unimaginable flooding at record levels, even hundreds of miles inland from the coast, has left rural communities without food, power, and shelter.

We've rounded up a few organizations doing extraordinary work on the ground as we speak, and we are asking for you to make a contribution to help them keep it up.

Hope Mill, Inc. - Helicopters Dropping Relief is a group of independent helicopter pilots around the Hickory, NC area who are purchasing water and supplies to transport to mountainous areas inaccessible by road. You can support their GoFundMe page here [[link removed]] .
