I want to encourage each of you in the states affected by Hurricane Helene to consider checking in to see if the nonprofits you typically support or others may need your help getting recovery items to those in need.
We took our first wave of supplies to a Title I High School in a district where we volunteered with teachers to review curriculum, industry trends, and mock interviews. Serving on the district's Advisory Board gave us access to immediate needs, and we were able to fill a shopping cart with supplies to help students, parents, and teachers who had lost everything.
I want to reiterate that you should start where you already have connections and then consider venturing out and partnering with other groups doing the work. Don't assume what people need; go to the sources doing the work who know what those affected need.

For other members looking for ways to help, I'll add a few Asheville area nonprofits that I can recommend. I live in Asheville and am happy to help find additional nonprofits if there is a specific cause you are looking support at this time.
