How to Help Asheville NC Where to Donate and Avoid Fraud

Relief efforts are underway in hard-hit western North Carolina, including Asheville, where a major disaster occurred due to Tropical Storm Helene. Communities are devastated after rain caused catastrophic flooding and submerged roads.

Hundreds of thousands of customers were without power on Sunday morning.

Here’s how you can get involved.

When you donate money to trusted charities, the money goes where it’s needed, to the places where it’s needed most.
