HOW YOU CAN HELP:
We have set up a Volunteer Sign-Up for anyone who would like to volunteer their time. Once you sign up you are automatically added to a list of volunteers that we call as soon as one of our businesses, residents or cities call us for help.
We have also set up a GoFundMe to support the hospitality industry workers who are now unemployed due to the impacts of the storm on our hotels, restaurants and attractions. If you are interested in donating you can visit our GoFundMe above.
Businesses and residents on the barrier islands, we are building a large volunteer network that is ready to help. If you or your business needs assistance please fill out this form to see if we can get you matched with some of our volunteers.
