Our hearts go out to those who have been effected by the devastating Hurricane Helene. So many people have lost loved ones, lost their homes and their lively hood. KRMC, KRMC employees, Aspire Appalachia, and members of the community filled two trucks to take to North Carolina on Saturday. Not only did they help staff with loading/securing the trucks, James Vires, Cameron Adams, Earl Stephens, and OV Watts delivered the trucks to North Carolina. Chaplain Kenneth Noble came by the hospital and prayed for a safe delivery before the trucks left. Thank you for your help getting some much needed supplies to those in need.

KRMC and Aspire Appalachia have a box truck set up at the hospital to receive local donations. (More trucks on standby, if needed.)
