Fellow Grangers, I would like to strongly encourage our Granges and Grangers to do whatever they can to help our southern Grange families and friends. The note below is from National Grange President Chris Hamp.
Brothers and Sisters,
In the past few days, I have received many emails, texts, and phone calls asking how Granges can help with recovery in North Carolina following the devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricane Helene over the weekend.
Please see the email sent from Jimmy Gentry, President of NC State Grange, with information on how to support their Granges.
I encourage Granges at all levels to support your Brothers and Sisters in their time of need, as they, in turn, help their communities recover.
In addition to North Carolina, we have also heard that Goodwill Grange, Virginia, and the surrounding communities received damage and are also in recovery. Goodwill Grange is known by its community for being an internet center, a vital need in rural southwestern Virginia.
We are working with the Virginia State Grange and will disseminate information on how to help Goodwill Grange as soon as it is available.
Please support these Granges and their communities in whatever ways you can.
Thank you,
