Running for the Mountains 5K
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the United Way has swiftly mobilized resources to address the devastation across the state. Rowan County United Way seeks to support local health and human services partners that will directly provide displaced individuals and families with children with necessities such as food, mental health services, clothing, bedding, and so much more.
Additionally, NC 211 remains a critical United Way resource for North Carolinians affected by the disaster. This service is available 24/7 and provides connections to emergency resources including shelter, food, and mental health services. NC 211 is also assisting in search efforts by allowing users to simply text 40403 to add a loved ones name to search and rescue efforts. NC 211 serves as a reliable lifeline during crises, offering guidance on everything from power outages to evacuation routes.
Additionally, the United Way will be at the event continuing their effort to find cold weather clothing, either new or gently used, to send toward the mountains. Items needed include coats of any kind, sweaters or sweatshirts, winter socks and gloves.
