Our goal is to stretch our resources as far as possible which includes working within our network for equipment requests, etc. Please be advised that we will share some of the stories of beneficiaries so that we can continue our work and support.
Thank You Gold Sponsors!
How are recipients selected? Our Auction Board will review applications and recommendations from the public. The review will include their relationship with the agricultural community, extent of damages incurred, and how impactful Helene was on their life or operations. Our board will also determine the number of recipients based upon the success of the auction to ensure the amounts given are impactful. We’d love to help everyone so this won’t be an easy process.
Have any of the Auction Board Members been impacted? No. Our Board Members have volunteered in hurricane relief areas and have connections to the mountain communities impacted, but have not faced any losses themselves. No proceeds from the auction will benefit the board members.
