Send Medical Aid to Survivors of Hurricane Helene

Project HOPE’s response team in western North Carolina has begun distributions of hygiene supplies, water, and OTC medicines, in coordination with local shelters and clinics. Through rapid assessments, the team has identified additional urgent needs and is working to establish a consistent supply chain for impacted communities.

Project HOPE is preparing to deploy volunteers in coordination with health clinics to relieve frontline health workers in order to give them space to assess their personal needs and regroup for long-term recovery efforts. As the impacts of this crisis continue to unfold, we anticipate health, water, sanitation, and mental health needs will continue to grow and become more urgent, especially as access is restored to communities who remain cut off from health and support services.

Project HOPE is committed to supporting local responses and partnering with local organizations. Our team continues to coordinate with the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFCC), as well as local and state chapters. Project HOPE has a history of active partnership with the NAFCC to empower health workers with the tools they need to provide care across the United States. As frontline responders to underserved and under-resourced communities, charitable clinics are critical to improving health equity, especially during emergencies.
