- Bottled water
- Non-perishable food items
- Pet food
- Hygiene items
- Baby formula/diapers
- Cleaning supplies/wipes/bleach
- Flashlights/batteries
- Garbage bags
- Gas cans
- First-aid kits
“The images coming out of the hurricane-damaged towns are devastating,” said Tribal Chair & CEO, Stephanie A. Bryan. “We are eager to lend a hand in these rescue efforts and are also working with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina as they work to help those in their surrounding communities. We encourage everyone to join us in delivering hope and assistance to those who have lost so much.”
All donations will be delivered to affected areas in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
