Hurricane Helene Relief
As a university rooted in faith, we are eager to reach out to our neighbors impacted by Hurricane Helene and demonstrate our love and care through service.
Ways to Serve
There are many organizations on the ground serving the nearly one million residents of North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene. As a university we have committed to send aid and support to our neighbors across the state as requested by Baptists on Mission who are already on the ground in western North Carolina serving meals and providing units for showers and laundry. They will coordinate teams who will assist with flood recovery in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Donation Drives
Athletics Drive
This year’s Creek Madness will feature the Men’s Basketball exhibition game against the Allen Yellow Jackets, tipping off at 7:00 p.m., with the chance to meet your Campbell Women’s Basketball team. Admission is free.
Campbell will be accepting donations for Hurricane Helene relief at the game. Bring a donation item and receive a free ticket to the November 4 season opening men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader at Gore Arena. We are requesting unscented laundry pods and Food Lion gift cards but other items will be accepted as well.
Alumni Drive
As we gather for the Alumni Homecoming Block Party on October 26, there will be online donation information to verified relief organizations for those who would like to make a monetary donation to aid in the ongoing recovery efforts.
Other Drives
Campbell University departments and units are encouraged to work with reputable organizations to coordinate volunteer efforts and donations to meet the needs of those impacted by these storms.
Monetary Donations
Monetary donation are the most critical need right now. The following are receiving monetary donations:
As more information is made known and road access to the western part of the state becomes more available the campus community will be updated with ways to volunteer and serve.
As a community animated by our Christian mission, prayer is always a faithful way to support and care for others.
