Mental Health Resources
This storm has been catastrophic for so many North Carolinians. There is real, physical danger, and then there is an emotional toll and a strain on mental health. It is traumatic and I want you to remember that there is no right or wrong way to feel.

Ways to Help
Thank you for your support of the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. Thanks to the generosity of people near and far, the Fund was able to raise more than $16.8 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Grants have gone out to more than 100 nonprofits working in western North Carolina to help people recover from the storm, thanks to our partner, the United Way of North Carolina.
The Fund has now merged its donations with the NC Community Foundation’s Disaster Relief Fund and will be used to support long-term recovery and unmet needs through grants to nonprofits serving western North Carolina.

Fatality Information
Every death related to a hurricane is a tragedy. As recovery efforts remain underway, one of our top priorities is to ensure any person who has died in the storm and their family are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
