How to Help with Tropical Storm Chantal Recovery |
The best way to support is by donating to trusted disaster relief efforts.
|
Unfortunately, unsolicited volunteers and donations can slow recovery. If you want to volunteer, please register, train, and receive credentials with groups like the Red Cross or NC VOAD before deploying. Act now so you can be prepared and affiliated with a trusted organization before the next disaster.
