Fines Creek Community Association’s Hurricane Helene Response

On September 26, Hurricane Helene devastated the region affecting communication, power and infrastructure. The Fines Creek area was flooded in low lying areas, residents lost power, trees barricaded roads and phone service unavailable. In a rural community when power is lost so is water from wells. Many people lost land lines and cell service. Bridges and culverts were washed away in the high water. Finally, people are moving again and helping their neighbors.

The Fines Creek Community Center and the Fines Creek Volunteer Fire Department served as a hub for rescue services, food, water, meals and clothing for this community and beyond. The Center is continuing to serve these needs. The center will be open now on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm.

We would like to thank the many, many people and organizations that have donated so much. Also the volunteers that have helped and continue to help with receiving, organizing and distributing food, clothing and water.
