Hurricane Helene
Yancey County experienced catastrophic devastation from Hurricane Helene and associated flooding and landslides on Sept. 26 and 27.
With our staff spread out across the county, and communication and transportation extremely limited, Dig In's operations are effectively immobilized at this point.
If you have the means, please donate locally to this community. Our county's volunteer fire departments are doing heroic work checking in on residents, clearing blocked roads, distributing critical supplies, and more. Our partners at Reconciliation House, Partners Aligned Towards Health, and more are active and distributing resources in the town of Burnsville. Our staff need financial support, and our organization will need to rebuild.
