Common questions answered.
What accomodations do you have for volunteers?
We have limited space inside the warehouse for volunteers to set up tents and cots with bathrooms and a makeshift kitchen with camp stoves, refrigerators, coffee pot, microwave. There is also plenty of space outdoors for those with campers to set up. There is a campground in Morganton that you can pay a $10 sewage dump fee. Meals are not provided but there are plenty of options nearby if you don't want to cook your own food.
Do you charge for your services?
No, although projects requiring materials will likely need to be paid for by the client if donations are unavailable. Further, the intent of our organization is to restore and recover from damages that are the direct result of a state or federally declared natural disaster. If projects fall outside of that scope we reserve the right to bill for time and materials as appropriate and in accordance to industry standards. For damages to private roads, bridges, or homes we will assist in applying for HOI or FEMA reimbursements to assist in getting the project fully funded.
We are planning on bringing in supplies from out of state, what kind of things should we prioritize.
That's a tough question as needs are constantly changing, and people who have been displaced are ready to rebuild and get back to stable living conditions, ie. an actual home. Your best bet would be to give us a call! We are still distributing aid across the region and have a good pulse of what the current needs are. You can also visit https://wnc-supply-sites.com/ which is a database of vetted distribution sites that are still active.
Are you a 501c3 Non-profit?
Just about! We have filed and waiting for our determination letter.
Do you hand out aid to survivors at your location?
By appointment only
Do you work on the weekend?
At this time we are only working M-F unless we are having a work party or receiving shipments by appointment.
