6/6/2023 Hurricane Florence Update

Feeding
At one time, we had 10 large kitchens providing food to Florence survivors at 10 different locations. A total of 1,057,623 HOT meals were prepared and served from these 10 kitchens. We are still feeding our rebuild volunteers.

Recovery/Rebuild
We have a total of 4 sites that have recovery/rebuild operations working out of them (at one time we had 14 different sites). We have been doing chainsaw, mud-outs, tear-outs, shockwave/sanitation and putting tarps on roofs and doing rebuilds. Our large Rebuild sites with site coordinators include: Lumberton, New Bern, and Rose Hill. So far, over 5800 recovery jobs have been completed.  We are doing home rebuilds. You do not need to be trained. Please come to help people get back in their homes!

Long Term Response
This disaster is so big that it will require a long term rebuild response to help get many people back in their homes. We have four different rebuild center sites where we can house and feed many volunteers who will be working on homes.  We will manage the rebuilding of homes from these “rebuilding hubs”. This will be a long term response that will take 2-3 years and require thousands of volunteers to help get many people back in their homes.
