Terrible weather forecasted for disaster survivors and is moving into the hills and hollers quickly. We, Appalachian Relief Corps and Missing People in East TN & Western NC due to flooding made a mad dash to get propane today after not being able to find ANY yesterday. Unfortunately, $422.47 just doesn’t get you too fat these days, especially when purchasing propane. Yes, 7 propane tanks costs $422.47 without taxes and a military discount. This is your donations, helping to keep people warm in these very dangerous temperatures and hazardous conditions.
Due to logistics and weather conditions, we will only be able to get propane to these folks over the next 2-3 days, hence, the urgency.
You can donate by visiting our pages. You can make general donations or tell us specifically how you’d like to have your money spent.

Thank you all for all you have done to help these folks, whether through us or other reputable nonprofits/trusted individuals.

Love y’all!
