URGENT HURRICANE HELENE SUPPLY DRIVE

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we are organizing an emergency food and supply drive to help families and pets affected by the storm. Your donations are crucial in providing relief to those in need.

We're loading up buses to deliver critical supplies to Yancey and surrounding areas near Asheville, where many are without power or access to basic necessities. Your donations can make a huge difference for families and pets in need.

Every contribution helps, whether it's a bag of pet food, a case of water, or canned goods. Please consider donating today to help us provide relief to those affected by this devastating storm!

WHAT ITEMS ARE NEEDED?

  1. Dog Supplies and Food: Dry kibble, wet food, treats, leashes, collars, dog beds, and medicine for dogs to ensure they stay healthy and comfortable during this time.

  2. Cat Supplies and Food: Canned and dry food, litter, litter boxes, toys, and other essential cat care items.

  3. Bottled Water: Clean drinking water is a priority for both families and pets.

  4. Non-Perishable Items: Canned goods, dry food, peanut butter, granola bars, and other items that can help sustain those affected by the storm.




    We also need personal items such as:

    • Rinse-free bath sponges (Amazon, Walmart, CVS)

    • Body wash

    • Toothbrushes and toothpaste

    • Formula and bottles for infants

    • Diapers

    • Flashlights and batteries

    • Tarps, blankets, and towels

    • Paper plates and plastic utensils

    • Dawn dish soap and disinfectant

Many residents have been told they won’t have power until after Christmas, and with the cold weather upon us, they desperately need essential supplies to keep them and their pups warm and safe.

They could use these items below for the upcoming winter:

  • Dehumidifiers

  • Mold Remediation

  • Starlinks

  • Electric heat sources

  • Propane heaters

  • Propane

  • Queen and King-sized blankets

  • Chainsaws

  • CO2 Detectors

  • Solar Lights

  • Camping Stoves

  • Hot Plates

These items can also be purchased on our Amazon Wishlist below and we will be making the trip up there to deliver.


We are also rescuing dogs from the impacted areas and providing them a safe haven during this crisis. To rescue even more dogs, we URGENTLY need medium-large wire dog crates (available at Chewy, Amazon, Petsmart, Petco, Target) and water buckets (available at Chewy, Amazon) for the crates. These are essential for transporting the dogs on our bus and bringing them back to the safety of Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
