Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     As North Carolinians celebrate Thanksgiving, Governor Pat McCrory is encouraging donations to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to support those impacted by Hurricane Matthew.

    "This Thanksgiving, there are still many families throughout North Carolina unable to return to their homes or normal way of life," said Governor McCrory. "As people pause and count their blessings this year, let's remember those who are still feeling the impact of Hurricane Matthew. Ann and I also ask North Carolinians to join us in giving thanks for the many first responders, National Guard soldiers, firefighters and others who have helped save lives during storms and wildfires from the mountains to the coast."


    The primary goal of the Disaster Relief Fund is to address unmet housing needs. Supporting the fund is one of the major initiatives of Governor McCrory's Hurricane Matthew Recovery Committee. Monetary contributions to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund for Hurricane Matthew can be made by texting NCRECOVERS to 30306 or by visiting NCDisasterRelief.org. This is one of the best ways to help fund long-term recovery efforts.
