Appalachian Regional Healthcare Foundation Seeks Volunteers for Hurricane Relief
Angela Bailey, executive director of the Appalachian Regional Healthcare Foundation, is determined to support Hurricane Helene victims by providing essential supplies. She recalls the nationwide assistance her community in Eastern Kentucky received during a devastating flood.
“We’ve experienced the overwhelming kindness of others during our crisis, and it only seems right to extend our help to those currently suffering,” Bailey remarks. The organization is now seeking public participation. They require volunteers who can assist with packing donations ready for dispatch early next week.
The volunteers’ duties will include constructing boxes, filling them with supplies, and preparing them for shipment. Bailey confirms that the foundation is coordinating with other non-profit organizations on location, who understand the exact needs of the hurricane victims.
“We are leveraging our on-ground experience to provide the most effective support, rather than just sending generic supplies,” she explains. This approach ensures that the Appalachian Regional Healthcare Foundation’s help is beneficial and timely.
Those interested in contributing their time to this cause can reach out to the Appalachian Regional Healthcare front desk at (859) 226-2440.
