Hurricane Helene Relief:

Spreading Hope & Holiday Cheer to the High Country

 

Hurricane Helene Relief Effort: A Community Response

 

Heavy rains from Hurricane Helene devastated the High Country region of North Carolina. Despite losing a store, our long-time partners at Queen City Audio Video & Appliances (Roddey, Roddey Jr., and Kate Player) in Charlotte quickly stepped up to help.

​

On October 12th, over 2,600 volunteers packed:

• 500,000 meals

• 10,000 hygiene kits

• 3,500 snack bags

​

Additionally, more than 3,000 items, including water, diapers, coats, and pet food, were donated.

​

Holiday Efforts Continue: A Season of Giving

As we head into the holiday season, Queen City is continuing its commitment to helping those in need. On December 4th, we will deliver additional items—like toys, coats, and other necessary supplies—to the Salvation Army in Hickory, which serves as the distribution point for all Angel Tree donations in the High Country. Many children in the area still need to be adopted, and we are determined to help brighten their holidays.

​

Your donation will support both the distribution of hurricane relief items and these essential holiday gifts. 100% of all contributions will go directly to funding the transport and distribution of these supplies, and all donations are tax-deductible.

​

Thanks to everyone who packed, donated, and continues to support this critical mission. Together, we can make a difference for the children and families who need it most.
