In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact, The Salvation Army has been diligently working across five states, providing essential aid to those affected. The Salvation Army of Greater Charlotte is playing a significant role in these relief efforts by stationing their teams in Aiken, South Carolina. Here they are offering food and shelter to individuals and families displaced by the storm.
In North Carolina, the hardest-hit cities of Asheville, Boone, and Hendersonville are receiving crucial assistance from Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Crews. These teams are distributing hot meals and have set up temporary shelters in Boone and Asheville—though these have since transitioned residents to county or state-operated facilities.
The generosity of the Charlotte community has been overwhelming, with many individuals reaching out to help. For those looking to contribute, The Salvation Army encourages supporters to include their relief information in “How You Can Help” segments across media platforms.
