Thankful to Carolina Farm Stewardship Association for sharing these important resources. Please share with your networks. ❤️🩹
Our hearts are heavy for all affected by Hurricane Helene across the Southeast and here in the Carolinas. Although it is too early to know the full extent of the devastation, we are comforted by the power of community we’re witnessing, from grassroots mutual aid networks taking shape to outpourings of financial support from across the nation. Many of you have asked us how you can help. As local communities and organizations are best positioned to know what their communities need regarding relief and recovery efforts, we have compiled a running resource collection aggregating funds, support opportunities, and relief projects based in WNC and Upstate SC: 🔗https://lnkd.in/ekuSjnbe (also linked in bio). As rescue and recovery efforts are still actively evolving, this is by no means an exhaustive resource, but rather a living document that will be updated regularly by the CFSA team as information continues to become available. In the coming days and weeks, we will be mobilizing outreach efforts to farmers, food businesses, and food hubs in the affected communities and will keep our network updated as we develop strategies focused on longterm recovery. Know that CFSA is here for you and working as always for farmers across the Carolinas. IMPORTANT FOR FARMERS: CAMERAS BEFORE CHAINSAWS. Take photos and notes to thoroughly document all damage to your operation before you begin any cleanup or recovery work, and report damage to your local USDA service office as soon as is possible. More resources for farmers available via the link above. #CarolinaStrong #helenerelief #tshelene #hurricanehelene #helene #cfsa #supportlocalfarms #AppalachianStrong #MountainStrong #HighCountryStrong #WNC #NCStrong #UpstateSC #GreenvilleSC #YeahThatGreenville #SouthCarolina
