The Editor’s Notes
After Hurricane Helene, a daughter helped her mom apply for disaster relief through Renew NC, a program with $807 million in federal funding for homeowners in western North Carolina to repair, rebuild, or reconstruct homes. This week, the mom moved back home.
Just like the daughter helped her mom, we need you to spread the word and offer support to homeowners in need. Please share this opportunity with your families and colleagues, with your book clubs and Sunday school classes.
Scott Elliott, formerly a superintendent in Watauga County and now working on recovery in western North Carolina, “We need everyone in western North Carolina to know about this opportunity.” Thank you!
