Doing Our Bit to Support NC Community Recovery After Helene

Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina hard, with coastal towns like Wilmington, New Bern, and Jacksonville taking the worst of the flooding and storm surge. But it wasn’t just the coast—mountain areas around Asheville, like Hendersonville and Black Mountain, were hit by heavy rains that caused flash floods and landslides, blocking roads and damaging homes. People across both coastal and mountain regions are facing a tough recovery, and they need all the support they can get to rebuild homes, clear debris, and restore their communities.

Love everyone. Be helpful to others within your capacity. Wipe out the tears from the eyes of the distressed….Shri Shri Thakura’s letter no. 41

America Saraswat Sangha donated $1000 to the NC disaster Relief fund to help with this humanitarian effort.
