A group in Clarke County is collecting donations for survivors of Hurricane Helene through October 15, 2024.
Local agencies have been in contact with churches and agencies in North Carolina and identified unmet needs that exist in the area. There are many smaller communities that have not received adequate support, and they would like to assist if possible.
All donations that are collected will be transported to churches in North Carolina for distribution in the affected outlying areas.
North Carolina officials have requested the following items:
• Water
• Non-perishable food items
• Baby bottles
• Baby wipes
• Toilet paper
• Feminine products
• Zipper seal bags
• Hand sanitizer
• Flashlights
• Dog food

• Sports drinks
• Manual can openers
• Diapers
• Adult wipes
• Paper towels
• Garbage bags
• Plastic storage totes
• Batteries of various sizes
