Many areas in Western NC are still without power and water. The water treatment plants are inoperable, with no idea when they will be repaired and no way to get fuel for backup systems. Search and Rescue teams are still pulling bodies, and people are still unaccounted for. The damage and loss are absolutely devastating.
Cape Fear REALTORSยฎ (CFR) is hosting a supply drive this week. Through October 2, we will be collecting approved donations only (see the list below) at Terraces on Sir Tyler (1826 Sir Tyler Drive, Suite 100, Wilmington, NC 28405).
The loaded trucks will then travel across the state on Wednesday and Thursday.
There are two ways you can get involved:
1) Purchase, collect, and drop off the approved items below.
Donations can be dropped off on Tuesday 8 AM - 5 PM and Wednesday 8 AM - 4 PM.
Please check in with the front desk of Cape Fear REALTORSยฎ before leaving any items.
To ensure we are meeting the communities' needs, anything outside of this list will not be accepted at drop-off.
