Dear Friend,
We hope that this message finds you and your communities well and safe. The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene is a direct consequence of the ongoing climate crisis, and its impact on Appalachia is unprecedented.
In response to this crisis, we encourage you to send support directly to grassroots organizers in Western North Carolina, who are deeply embedded in and committed to their local communities.
These organizations are best positioned to address immediate needs and provide life-saving aid to the most vulnerable and marginalized populations. We have highlighted two trusted groups below, which are just two of many groups supporting relief efforts and delivering material aid to Asheville and its surrounding areas.
Future Coalition has donated $5,000 -- and encourages our network to join us in donating to these local groups.
Beloved Asheville is an organization that works to bring people together from all walks of life to work in rural areas that are typically underfunded. Click here to learn more about their mission.
