WNC Floods of 2024
Current HCM Response
We are now in the long-term recovery from the 2024 floods in WNC. Many of the initiatives we began during the flood are ongoing. We currently support anywhere between 15-30 other agencies and churches who are working to feed neighbors in their communities as well as operating our own food pantry three days a week. We have donated resources that are available to flood victims as well as the general population who need them accessible through the Somer’s Resource Center, and we manage flood victim assistance in a case-by-case manner.
Our area will be recovering from the floods for months if not years. Thank you for your support!
HCM’s Future Plan
Once the initial Food Access phase is operational and we move into long-term recovery, we want to help our communities recover and rebuild with future RESILIENCY and SUSTAINABILITY in mind.
We want to ensure the longevity of our rural food ecosystem. We want to empower our rural communities with disaster-resilient communications infrastructure, and help our families and our farms rebuild in ways that help them prepare for future disasters.
