It’s been a rough week for Appalachia and the South. Our staff are safe and our temporary offices are ok, but many folks across Helene’s path are still without power, food, water, etc. Visit our latest blog post for more info on how to help: https://t.co/9YQbKxCA7z

We are currently partnering with two churches in the Roanoke area to collect and distribute much-needed items to hard-hit areas of rural Southwest Virginia. If you're in the area and looking for a way to donate or get involved, any donations would be very welcome.
