Hurricane Florence has ravaged the Carolinas, destroyed houses, businesses, and for many, hope. Our hearts are with the community foundations on the Atlantic Coast and the communities they continue to serve amid danger and damage.
“A lot of people had lost everything; they had to be evacuated so quickly that they didn’t have time to take anything,” said North Carolina governor Roy Cooper.
