Our hearts ache for WNC, and as a state, we're uniting to help our neighbors rebuild. With host Pamela Escobar, we're highlighting three organizations making a unique impact in the recovery effort – and sharing how you can pitch in: - Jason Gudzunas, Executive Director Charlotte - American Red Cross North Carolina - Clark Pennington, COO - The Independence Fund - Michelle Schaefer-Old, Founder & CEO - DIAPER BANK OF NORTH CAROLINA 🎙️Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eXEc2_KP 🎙️Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ea--f3YH 💜 View SHARE Charlotte's Hurricane Relief Resources: https://lnkd.in/eY5Kj6Ed WNC - We love you! #DoGoodCLTPodcast #HurricaneHelene
