About Us
At Mountain Rescue NC, we are more than just a disaster relief organization—we are a lifeline for the people of Western North Carolina. Born out of the need for action in the wake of Hurricane Helene, we are dedicated to ensuring that our communities have the resources, support, and resilience to rise above any storm.
Our Story
Mountain Rescue NC was founded in response to the unprecedented devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. The storm left behind a trail of destruction, impacting countless families, homes, and businesses. In the midst of this chaos, we saw a unique opportunity to bring people together—to channel the strength, compassion, and resilience of our region into a force for good. What began as a grassroots effort to help those in immediate need has grown into a full-scale operation dedicated to long-term relief and recovery.
