When a hurricane strikes it can leave unbelievable devastation in its path. Although donations for the victims have poured in nationwide, there are still many items those affected need the most to rebuild their lives. In a joint effort between 15 area agencies, donations are being requested to support recovery efforts across Western North Carolina.

Collaborating for a good cause can strengthen community ties. Your contributions during "Warrick County Battle of the Badges Hurricane Relief Drive," can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected. Please drop off donations on October 19th and October 20th, 2024, between 11 AM - 3 PM, and help us spread the word!
