***MESSAGE FROM SENATOR MICHAEL GARRETT – HELP FOR WESTERN N.C.***
The past few days have been hell on earth for western North Carolina. A whole host of federal,
state, and local resources have been deployed to aid our neighbors facing a dire situation, but
more help is needed.
I have been in contact with legislators in the western part of the state and have extended Guilford
County's support. Our team is arranging a supply delivery to the area later this week.
Donations are needed. In coordination with Buncombe County-area officials on the ground, the
following is a list of recommended donations based on current needs:
Baby formula
Baby diapers & wipes
Bottled water
Nonperishable food
Personal hygiene products
Pet food
Toiletries
If you would like to support this effort, our team will be accepting donations Thursday,
October 3 from 3-6 p.m. at 7615 Boeing Drive, Greensboro. Signage in front of the property
will direct donors to the loading dock in the rear of the building.

Organizations Active in Disaster .
In solidarity,
Michael K. Garrett
