If you’ve ever wondered what the community members in Floyd, VA are like, a simple response would be: selfless.

This chilly morning at 9 AM, volunteers from Floyd departed with 25 campers and a trailer full of toys to deliver to families in four different areas of Western North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene.

We are deeply grateful for the incredible generosity and hard work of everyone who made this possible—from those who donated, to the volunteers on the ground, to the families and businesses who supported these efforts.

The bond between Floyd and our neighbors in Western North Carolina runs deep, and we are honored to lend a helping hand to those in need.

❤️ Come visit Floyd, VA, and experience this compassion and connection for yourself. We can’t wait to welcome you!
