“Our goal is to be a resource and catalyst to help rebuild our state. We can’t do this alone and the partnership with Civic Local Foundation represents unity in our efforts to help support North Carolinians affected by this storm. We are grateful to everyone who has donated thus far and hope to continue to receive financial support to help impacted communities,” stated Justin Hembree, NCARCOG Board Chair.

Through the collaborative partnership, NCARCOG will distribute funding to local government entities and employees impacted by the storm, assist with recovery efforts administered by regional Council of Government agencies, and help supporting organizations such as non-profits and local businesses to provide resources and emergency supplies. 100% of the administrative costs for disbursing the funds are being covered by Civic and Local Government Credit Unions. This means every penny donated will directly assist those in Western North Carolina who need it most.
