Hurricane Helene

Support Smart Start, Support Families
Smart Start local partnerships are in every North Carolina community serving young children and families across the state.
With many of our communities experiencing devastating impacts from Hurricane Helene, our western Smart Start Local Partnerships need help getting back up and running so they can focus on taking care of the children and families in their communities.
Support may finance the purchase of supplies for families in need, transportation to families and resources, and even support for Local Partnership infrastructure so that Partnerships can continue to support their communities long-term.
Your generous donation will go directly to families and to Local Partnerships impacted by the storm so they, in turn, can help families.
