Decatur County Community Foundation

Western North Carolina is nearing the six-month mark after Hurricane Helene, and we want to say thank you to all the individuals and institutions that showed an outpouring of love and concern for our community. Today, we are sending a message to over 7,000 people and organizations across the country thanking them for their support and updating them on our emergency fund activity. As we do not have contact information for many of your fundholders, we ask that you consider sharing this link with them and your staff members who have supported us through donations during this very difficult time.
