Hurricane Helene Relief
North Carolina
Grassroots Aid Partnership is headquartered in Asheville, NC, which means the flooding of Hurricane Helene devastated our home community. GAP is working tirelessly to provide nourishing food, clean water, and fortifying aid to the survivors of the horrific flooding.
📦 Over 30,000 family meal boxes delivered and still counting!
Starting in early December, through connecting with various distribution hubs and food banks throughout western North Carolina, GAP began preparing, packing, and delivering family meal boxes (produce, grains, proteins, snacks, and toiletry goods). We are currently serving eight counties in Western North Carolina.
🍏 $1 million in food and aid delivered so far!
Through GAP’s partnering model, we have brought in food and aid donations from conscious companies nationwide. Plus, we have been joining forces with many other local non-profits like Bounty and Soul and the pop-up farmers market to facilitate the ongoing delivery of goods to those in need.
🍛 75,000 healthy, hot meals served!
Since 48 hours after the storm, GAP has been serving nourishing home-cooked meals to survivors, and we plan to keep cooking through the long-term recovery stage. Daily, we box up hundreds of meals and deliver them to the outer communities where the needs remain dire.
💧 2 million gallons of clean water provided!
Asheville and the surrounding communities lost their access to Drinking water and Grey water for nearly two months. GAP installed temporary clean water systems at community centers, restaurants, nursing homes, and other critical locations.
