It is in times of need that we discover the full impact of a community. Hurricane Florence came ashore in September 2018 causing catastrophic damage to homes and communities across Eastern NC—producing over 25 inches of rain in some areas—United Way of Coastal Carolina has worked closely with local agencies and long-term recovery groups to help families that faced devastating losses from the historic flooding.
This was the most destructive storm since Hurricane Hazel in 1954 to affect communities including Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties. Hurricane Florence left a wake of destruction in its path—but there is still hope.
United Way of Coastal Carolina has a history of coordinating community responses to help those affected in times like these. Whether by raising funds to aid in relief efforts, engaging community leaders or mobilizing partners to help with on-the-ground long-term recovery, United Way offers hope and help when it is most needed.
The need is still great! If you would like to volunteer, please visit or call one of the volunteer long term recovery groups listed below. There are links and contact information if you have questions. All of these groups operate under the United Way of Coastal Carolina.
