**Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts in Wake County, North Carolina**

Wake County Government in Raleigh, North Carolina, is urging residents to support recovery efforts for those affected by Hurricane Helene, particularly in Western North Carolina.

**Donations**: The North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund is the best method of assistance. Detailed information can be found at [North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund](https://ow.ly/Ht8b50TCwrt).

**Supplies**: Residents are reminded that while supply drives continue, individuals from outside the area should refrain from bringing supplies at this time. Many routes into the area remain dangerous, and access is currently limited to emergency services.
