Hurricane Florence Relief

Operation Endeavor is partnering with the Liberty NY Rotary Club, Wings of Michael, SUNY Sullivan, Rotary District 7210, Rolling V Bus Corp and a number of local businesses and organizations to bring relief to parts of North Carolina devastated by flooding following Hurricane Florence, which struck the mid-Atlantic coast on September 14-17th, 2018 bringing flooding rains and storm surge. Hundreds have lost their homes and the rebuilding process will be slow, especially in more depressed inland areas historically free from flooding where many were not insured against such an unprecedented event. Many more have lost all of their worldly possessions as floodwaters inundated their homes.

Following the successful model deployed by the team following Hurricane Harvey in September of 2017, a Hurricane relief supply collection and donation drive has begun at sites across Sullivan and Orange counties. Please click here for a current list of supplies being requested. The collected supplies are destined for delivery to hard hit rural areas of North Carolina by a mission team administered by Operation Endeavor made up of their members and Rotarians departing New York on October 4th with delivery of the donated supplies scheduled for October 5th. Please click here for a current list of donation sites.

In order to help, please consider visiting one of the donation sites with some of the supplies listed, or to provide monetary support to cover transportation costs, please click on our current GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/operation-endeavor-disaster-relief, or donate by mail at Operation Endeavor, 560 West Broadway, Monticello, NY 12701.
