The City of Fort Wright has partnered with the North Carolina City and County Management Association (NCCCMA) to deliver much needed non-perishable items to flood-ravaged North Carolina.
NCCCMA Executive Director Rob Shepherd said many cities and counties are still in response mode and assessing the magnitude of the damage and still searching for missing persons. He also said many communities still do not have power or reliable communications, many roads are damaged or destroyed limiting and preventing transportation, and there is tremendous need for a variety of non-perishable items.
In response the City of Fort Wright is asking the community to step in to help. The city will be collecting and transporting directly to Hurricane Helene impacted North Carolina the following items:
