Dear Friends & Supporters, I am reaching out to you today with both a heavy heart and immense hope and determination. Like you, I have been deeply saddened by the devastation Tropical Storm Helene caused to our beloved Western NC communities. Entire neighborhoods have been swept away by catastrophic flooding, and countless families have lost everything. The scale of this disaster is difficult to grasp, and while the full impact is still being evaluated, one thing is undeniable: the need for swift and ongoing relief is urgent. As food and shelter support begins to flow into the region, hygiene products are often overlooked in disaster relief efforts. Diapers, in particular, are not provided through traditional disaster response programs, but the Diaper Bank of NC is here to fill that gap. Right now, the need for these supplies is greater than ever. Families across Western NC are not only grappling with the loss of their homes and possessions but also with the challenge of accessing basic essentials to care for their loved ones. Diapers, period products, adult incontinence supplies, and formula are all in critically short supply. How We’re Responding We are mobilizing our resources to send essential supplies to families across the region. In the coming days and weeks, we will be distributing: -Diapers for infants and toddlers, ensuring babies stay healthy and dry. - Period products for menstruating individuals so that no one must go without dignity during this crisis. - Adult incontinence supplies for our seniors and those with disabilities, who are often among the most vulnerable during emergencies. - Formula for infants to ensure that even the youngest members of our community are nourished during this time of uncertainty. But our response will not end when the floodwaters recede. We are committed to standing with these communities for the long haul, ensuring they have access to these vital supplies as they rebuild their lives. How You Can Help We are calling on you to join us in this critical effort. Here’s how you can make a difference: 1. Donate: Your financial support allows us to procure and distribute essential supplies quickly and efficiently. Every dollar you give will go directly toward helping families affected by this disaster. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/gmCSzXkV 2. Host a Drive: Organize a collection of diapers, period products, and formula in your community. 3. Spread the Word: Raise awareness on social media and in your networks. 4. Commit to Long-Term Support: We are in this for the long run, and we need sustained help to continue providing these essential items over the coming months. We have always believed in the power of community to lift each other up in times of hardship. Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your commitment to helping those in need. With your support, we can and will make a lasting impact.
