Cash is Best
Cash offers North Carolina VOAD the most flexibility in obtaining the most-needed resources. Organizations typically prefer cash donations because they allow our members to:
- Purchase food, water, medicine, and equipment from secure and familiar supply chains
- Buy materials locally. This can help rebuild the local economy
- Conserve resources. Money is always necessary and cheap to send, but the cost to ship material supplies can be expensive.
- Remember, material supplies such as used clothing, miscellaneous household items, and mixed or perishable food require helping agencies to redirect volunteer labor away from providing direct one-on-one assistance to sort, package, transport, warehouse, and distribute items that may not meet the needs of disaster survivors.
Give your Time
Volunteer to work with a safe, experienced NC VOAD partner. There are opportunities for everyone from novices to professionals. You may volunteer as an individual, a family, or a group. You may volunteer as a day worker or to stay at the worksite. Housing is provided. Meals and tools are often provided. Experienced leaders assure a safe and productive experience.
Opportunities are available now or may be scheduled for the future. Why not schedule a summer in the mountains or week in the winter helping at the coast by checking our volunteer opportunities?”
