What does a hub work day at the Pigeon Center in W What does a hub work day at the Pigeon Center in Waynesville, NC, look like weeks after Helene hit? It looks like busy bees and solidarity! Allies with @rednecksrising packed up 30 totes and ran them out to folks impacted the storm. As winter sets in, temperatures drop, and the economic crisis of disaster compounds the physical stressors folks are being exposed to, communities continue to come together to support each other and build back together. While many hubs have had to reduce open hours for donation deliveries, supplies ARE still needed, and the MADR supply line is strong! Together, we get it where it is needed. From food and clothing to tools and totes! From locals to regional affinity groups and crews coming in to share their time and labor, the response continues, from holler to holler and the spaces in between. #weareseeds #solidaritynotcharity #mutualaid @rednecksrising - runnin' round! @pcmdcwaynesville - happy hubs have tasty treats! Shout out to the chefs of this fine southern supper. @firestormcoop - continues to be a community support staple helping source supplies like these handy totes! @wncmutualaidswitchboard - continuing to help volunteers plug in otg via the collective switchboard It takes a village. Or, a network of rad allies :)
We know today is heavy for our community. We are h We know today is heavy for our community. We are here. For each other. We are stronger, together. Whether you need to relax with hebal tea or find security in being a prepared bee, our movements have been creating the content for caring for each other for years. Because this is just one of the many disasters we have and will face together. Because we forge safety through solidarity. Because we save each other. Because we will survive this storm, like we have the others. Because rebellions are built on hope. Because all we have is each other.

The mutual aid disaster relief hub at Smith Mill W The mutual aid disaster relief hub at Smith Mill Works in Asheville is changing the days we're open. We'll now be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This means we won't be accepting deliveries or making deliveries those two days. The WNC Mutual Aid Switchboard will still be operating during those days, but the warehouse will be taking a break and getting ready for the next week of getting supplies out to folks!

Calling all like-minded medical professionals for Calling all like-minded medical professionals for mutual aid clinics popping up around western North Carolina! In response to the devastation of Hurricane Helene, medical doctors, nurses, EMTs, street medics, elder care workers and many other medical professionals have collaborated on the ground to make and staff pop-up clinics and make door-to-door wellness checks in some if the most isolated and cut off communities. They have helped find and fill needed medications and mobility aids and provided transportation when needed. As long-term response efforts take over, more needs are being identified in more areas, more medic support is also needed. This work is a labor of love and solidarity. This is work that highlights the massive failure of the state to bring critical care to its residents, before, during, and after the visible disaster of the most recent climate change caused storm has passed. That time is still now. If you can support work on the ground to staff and support pop-up clinics, even if for just a day, please reach out to our medic allies' hotline to plug in. Send a text to the WNC MEDIC HOTLINE at 828-222-4935 to connect. Not a medic but want to support the good works? To donate supplies or funds for medics, reach out to us at mutualaiddisasterrelief@gmail.com or donate directly to our Action Network at https://bit.ly/donatemadr #solidaritynotcharity #mutualaidmedic #wekeepeachothersafe #popupclinic #harmreductionsaveslives #communitiesofcare @avlsurvival @pansy.collective @wncmutualaidswitchboard
