Nash County Public Schools

Communities across North Carolina have been significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene, and many families and school staff will need support in the coming weeks and months as they recover from the storm. Nash County Public Schools is coming together to help by organizing relief efforts at various schools. We are incredibly proud to see the amazing leadership from our students, with many of these drives being student-led and driven by their desire to help those most vulnerable. We invite you to participate and support these communities during this difficult time. This list of relief events will be updated as more schools get involved. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.

The North Carolina Association of School Administrators has compiled a list of resources to assist anyone affected by Hurricane Helene or looking to aid relief efforts. The list includes options for financial donations and volunteer opportunities.
