Nonprofit representative offers volunteer and web-support resources for Mitchell County storm recovery
Summary
At a Mitchell County public meeting, a representative of a community rebuild group said volunteers and partner organizations are available to help with post-storm recovery and offered contact cards and a website for coordination.
A representative of a community nonprofit told Mitchell County officials during a public meeting that volunteers and outside partner organizations are available to help with post-storm recovery and that the group has a website and contact cards to share with the county.
The representative said the group is “there” for the community and wants “to do our best to help you all as well,” and offered to give contact cards to the county’s volunteer resource center so the nonprofit can be contacted for relief work.
The comment came from someone who identified themself as a local resident and nonprofit representative, who said they graduated from Mitchell High School in 2007 and served in the U.S. Army with an honorable discharge in 2016. The representative listed several outside organizations they said have provided resources after recent storm damage, naming Mountain Aid Project and groups described in the transcript as Appalachian Navy and “day 41, disaster from Ohio,” and encouraged the county to consult the nonprofit’s website for more information about potential partners.
The representative also said they had built the nonprofit’s website and offered technical assistance, adding that they would continue to attend future meetings and help where possible.
No formal requests for funding, contracts or county action were recorded in the transcript; the remarks were delivered during public comment and primarily offered volunteer support and contact information. The meeting then moved to adjournment.
