ASSISTANCE FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AREAS DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE HELENE COMES IN THE FORM OF GOD’S PIT CREW VOLUNTEERS
DANVILLE, VA. (October 8, 2024) – Hurricane Helene relief efforts by God’s Pit Crew continue as volunteer crews prepare to deploy to Asheville, North Carolina, where they will provide much-needed assistance to the surrounding mountain communities affected by catastrophic flooding.
For the past several days, small teams from God’s Pit Crew have been in the Asheville, North Carolina, area providing assistance and preparing for the larger team of volunteers to arrive. The ministry’s Immediate Disaster Response Team will soon arrive on-scene in Western North Carolina to assist in cleanup and restoration efforts.
God’s Pit Crew semi-trucks equipped with dehumidifiers, generators, chainsaws, tarps and other equipment to assist with cleanup efforts will be on hand to assist those affected by this tragic storm. These resources will be used to remove mud, wet carpet and furniture, and wet drywall from homes – as well as assist homeowners with damaged tree and debris removal.
Over 25 tractor-trailer loads of critical relief items have been delivered to hurting areas throughout Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
The God’s Pit Crew Immediate Disaster Response Team will travel to Asheville, North Carolina, on Sunday, October 13, with plans for the crew to remain through Sunday, November 3.
Individuals in need of assistance are asked to fill out the North Carolina Assistance Form located within the red banner on the God’s Pit Crew website (GodsPitCrew.org). Volunteers will be working to muck out homes, assist with drying efforts and mold remediation, cut and remove damaged trees, and pray with families.
Volunteers looking to assist with this deployment are asked to register using the Volunteer Form located within the red banner on the God’s Pit Crew website (GodsPitCrew.org).
