Marshall Relief Alliance emerged from within our community as a response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene on our town, residents, and surrounding area. Recognizing the immediate and long-term needs in the wake of the storm, our local grassroots iniaitive was established to provide urgent relief and sustained recovery support to Marshall, NC and our neighbors.
Our mission is to empower individuals in crisis and nurture community cohesion by uniting
people, resources, and purpose.
GRASSROOTS DISASTER RESPONSE SUPPORTING THE RECOVERY OF MARSHALL, NC AND OUR NEIGHBORS THROUGH THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE HELENE
Established for disaster response, our efforts are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our community as they arise. The volunteer family we found in Helene's wake continues to grow. Our work wouldn't be possible without the amazing team of volunteers, local and from afar. Our projects and programs are entirely community-led initiatives sustained by the hard work of our community members, volunteers and donations.
