A new online platform connects Hurricane Helene survivors in western North Carolina with essential resources as winter approaches mountain communities.
Littleswitzerlandrelief.org launched after Charleston restaurant owners witnessed widespread destruction across highland regions. “This website streamlines matching donations with urgent needs,” said Nick Mead, who helped establish the platform.
The site coordinates various assistance types, from food delivery to winter supply distribution. “Communities require different support levels based on damage severity,” said Danny Lee, managing relief efforts in Little Switzerland.
Graham Calabria, organizing aid from Charleston, stressed efficient resource allocation. “Direct connections between donors and recipients maximize impact,” he said.
Platform users report successful matching of specific needs. “The website helped locate space heaters for families in tents,” Lee said.
Volunteer teams utilize the system for coordinating deliveries. “Real-time updates prevent duplicate efforts while identifying gaps,” Mead said.
Relief workers encourage regional participation through the platform. “Supporting neighbors strengthens entire communities,” Calabria said.
The website continues expanding services as needs evolve. “Long-term recovery requires sustained coordination,” Lee said.
Website managers monitor changing requirements. “Winter brings new challenges requiring quick response,” Mead said.
