In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the United Way has swiftly mobilized resources to address the devastation across the state. Rowan County United Way seeks to support local health and human services partners that will directly provide displaced individuals and families with children with necessities such as food, mental health services, clothing, bedding, and so much more.
Additionally, NC 211 remains a critical United Way resource for North Carolinians affected by the disaster. This service is available 24/7 and provides connections to emergency resources including shelter, food, and mental health services. NC 211 is also assisting in search efforts by allowing users to simply text 40403 to add a loved ones name to search and rescue efforts. NC 211 serves as a reliable lifeline during crises, offering guidance on everything from power outages to evacuation routes.
Contributions from the run will go directly to assisting our community and our community partners in supporting those displaced by Hurricane Helene. These efforts exemplify our capacity to unite partners, donors, and volunteers to drive immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts. Please visit https://rowanunitedway.org/ or https://nc211.org/ for more information.
Anyone who makes an additional donation of $50 or more will be entered into a drawing for a free pair of running shoes from Ralph Baker's Shoes!
