A mother-daughter duo in western North Carolina shut down their small business in late September to turn it into a full-time relief center to help their community recover after Hurricane Helene’s devastation. Now, over one month later, they’re telling Fox News Digital that their goal remains the same as it did on day one: to give hope to all those affected for as long as it takes.
Within five days, our 70,000-square-foot warehouse was completely filled with supplies,' Taylor said. 'We've had donations from 38 states now. And they just continue to flood in.' The mother and daughter are leading a team of volunteers in collecting and distributing much-needed supplies not only to their community and others within the state, but to other affected communities in Virginia and Tennessee that suffered when the storm struck on Sept. 26.
We're giving hope,' Jen said. 'Everybody that comes in here, our goal is for them to leave with a little more hope than they came through the doors with.'
