Disaster Recovery Resources
Individual Assistance is Now Available
Saxapahaw Forward and Safe Alamance have raised and given away at least $93,500 to individuals and businesses in the last three weeks! Thank you for your abundant generosity!
About 30% of those funds were given to individuals and about 70% were given to businesses, farms, and nonprofit organizations.
It’s amazing what our community can do!
