Many of us are wondering how we can help people down south in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The devastation is beyond our comprehension. Whole towns in the mountain areas and along the major rivers between Greenville, SC and north of Asheville, NC and to the west are gone.
As the floodwaters have receded, aid is beginning to come in to these areas. They are in need of everything, as many of the people there have lost their homes and businesses and some are still stranded up on the mountainsides cut off from help entirely as the roads in and out are washed away or covered with landslides. Pets and livestock were washed downstream or separated from their owners who could not get back to their homes to retrieve them.
CWDF will be helping this relief effort with a special focus on dogs, cats and other pets who are now displaced from their homes, either with their people, or being rescued and brought to area animal shelters. We will be collecting monetary donations over the next few days, and will be going down to South Carolina on Thursday, where we will be able to purchase dog and cat food, litter, water, leashes, poop bags etc. to deliver to the community aid stations and animal shelters in the area. We will spend whatever we raise.
