Saxapahaw Flood Recovery: Volunteer + Supply Needs for July 10

Jul 10, 2025

What an incredible day of work and heart in Saxapahaw.

Over 40 volunteers showed up today, some traveling from out of state, to help clear debris, sort supplies, and support neighbors still reeling from Tropical Depression Chantal. The energy was high, the heat intense, and the collective effort truly moving.

As we look to tomorrow, July 10, we still need your help.
