Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief

It is plain to see the devastation in Western North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. These communities are in great need of supplies, monetary gifts, and hope.

It is our prayer that God will use us in the weeks and months to come to provide relief through our partnership with City Church of Asheville. Join us in supporting the relief efforts in Asheville and giving the hope we have in Christ to those who so desperately need Him.

"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
Eph 5:1-2
Fulfilling Real Needs

Pisgah ARP Church is collecting supplies to fulfill real needs in the communities of Western NC. Below is a list of need supplies you can drop off at the church office. We will also be coordinating with City Church of Asheville to have clean-up days to go and volunteer with them in their community.

Distributing Monetary Gifts

During our first supply run to Asheville and Hendersonville we were able to collect and distribute over $3000 to the local church leaders to aid in their efforts. With power and internet unavailable, cash is a huge need in these communities. All cash is given directly to local church leaders to aid in their efforts.

Giving Hope

It is easy to feel hopeless in the midst of destruction. It is our prayer that we can meet people in the brokenness of this world and offer true hope and the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. Pray with us that many would come to Jesus through the local churches in Western North Carolina.

How You Can Help

“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” – John 13:35

Pray

Prayer is powerful, and we need our brothers and sisters in Christ prayerfully supporting us and our partner churches in Western NC.

Pray for mercy and protection for those who continue to be impacted by the storm, especially those in areas that are still unreachable. Pray for our brothers and sisters in the mountains, that they would be the hands and feet of Jesus and share the love of Christ while fulfilling real needs in their communities. Pray for strength that they might stand on the promises of God, even in the midst of such devastation and hardship.

Donate

The Western NC churches are in desperate need of supplies. Please drop off any donations you are able to collect at the church office. Once we gather enough supplies we will take trips up the mountain to deliver them.

Give

You can donate directly to Pisgah. All donations marked for “Hurricane Relief” will be used to supply the needs of those affected through assisting the ARP churches in the area. 
 
If you feel comfortable, cash is a huge need right now in Asheville because there is no power to accept card payments in most stores. Any cash donated will be given directly to the local church leaders for them to steward in a responsible way.
 
You can donate through the ARP Good Samaritan Fund. This will go to Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief throughout the southeast.
