Subdeacon Joe Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Mountain Mule Packer We are working to coordinate bringing supplies into areas affected by Hurricane Helene by pack mule strings. We are planning to head to Weaverville, NC tomorrow, but available to go to other areas of need as well. Please reach out to us at 910-885-1402 if you know of specific needs and areas that we can get our mule strings in to help! We can bring supplies or pack in what your group has acquired already! #prayingforthoseaffectedbyhelene 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this. I saw reports of this on FaceBook, with no clue anyone from here was involved. There are places just a few miles from me, just across the state line, where nobody has been in or out of since the storm. So close and not a damn thing I can do for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish there was a way to help them directly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 https://gardenandgun.com/articles/mountain-mules-are-bringing-hope-to-appalachia/ Both groups are on fb however there are dozens of scammers putting up fake FB groups and links to electronic payment apps to scam people. Most have VERY subtle variations on the legitimate group. Because of this, I suggest that you contact them directly so that both groups can direct you to legitimate links to donate to the relief effort. https://mountainmulepackers.com/ There are multiple groups using variations of "Cajun Navy" some are legit and others are not. The link below is for the group directly involved with the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch in Mount Ulla, North Carolina Cajun Navy 2016 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Ex NASCAR driver, Greg Biffle, has been flying his own helicopter in and out of the disaster zone, looking for stranded survivors and delivering food/medicine/water/supplies all on his own dime. He has already helped rescue several people. He is also delivering StarLink systems to various locations. A big Hurray to the normal, everyday civilians that are doing everything they can to help out...while the Feds sit on their thumbs wondering what to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Capons, wethers, and burrocrats (sic) more concerned about dotting the Ts and crossing the Is or looking good in the newspapers that getting the job done. On the other hand, sometimes even Newsom gets things right: "In close coordination with FEMA, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is immediately deploying 151 firefighters and support personnel from California/FEMA US&R Task Force 5, 6, and 8 from the Orange County Fire Authority, Riverside Fire Department, and San Diego Fire Department. The deployment also includes California Swiftwater Task Force 1 from the Los Angeles Fire Department." And PG&E is sending crews to assist with power restoration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
