Many organizations are working to support those in need during this difficult time. WRAL Hurricane Helene Recovery Telethon WRAL is coming together with the community to raise funds for those devastated by Hurricane Helene. Tune in Wednesday, Oct. 2, from noon to 7:30 p.m. for our telethon, where every donation goes directly to supporting recovery and rebuilding efforts across the state.

Peartree Lane Raleigh, NC 27610 North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund 20312 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699 Map: Hurricane Helene in North Carolina WRAL Cares Virtual Blood Drive The Red Cross has declared an urgent need for blood and platelet donations in the wake of Hurricane Helene. In addition to the unimaginable devastation caused by the storm, the hurricane forced more than 1,000 scheduled blood donations to go uncollected through the Carolinas and Georgia. That number continues to grow. Hospitals are overwhelmed, supplies are depleted, and blood and platelets are desperately needed. Those in areas of the state who can safely give blood are asked to roll up their sleeves and donate today to ensure that those who need access to lifesaving care can receive it.

Some of the ways we're providing tangible relief include:
Some things to remember when donating Disaster officials remind you that if you want to donate, do it through a disaster relief organization or the government. They publish lists of needed items.
Look for matching donations. Nonprofits recognize that individuals may not be able to give as much as they would like due to the current economy and the number of current global crises. Experts suggest giving through places that will provide a matching donation. For example, Walmart announced Monday that its foundation will not only donate $6 million to support Hurricane Helene relief efforts, but it will match all customer donations made to the American Red Cross at Walmart and Sam's Club stores, as well as Walmart.com, until Oct. 13, up to $2.5 million. Seeking shelter or financial assistance after a disaster If you need assistance following Helene, go to USA.Gov to get information about financial assistance and housing following a disaster. The Red Cross also has a list of shelters that are open and so does the website ReadyNC.gov. The North Carolina Department of Public Safety has a website with information about emergency declarations, power outages and crisis cleanup for those affected by Helene. Health needs If you are in a personal crisis and need someone to talk with, you can call or text the Crisis Line at 988. If you are not in an immediate crisis, but need someone to talk with, you can call the North Carolina Warm Line: 1-855-733-7762. LME/MCOs, or Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organizations, are the best contacts for most mental health and developmental disability services. See a county-by-county list. Who to call if you need help locating someone NC 211 is an information and referral service provided by United Way of North Carolina and supported by local United Ways and public and private partners North Carolina leaders mentioned the service as the western part of the state deals with flooding, no water, no power and no cell service in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Calling NC 211 after Helene passes: Lifeline helps with disaster response, resources People trying to connect with family members can call NC 211 or 1-888-892-1162 if calling from out-of-state. People can also call those numbers to report missing loved ones. WRAL News has begun compiling a list of people who are safe. You can see that full list by clicking here.
