January Mission Trip

North Carolina—hurricane relief

Date	January 25-31, 2025
Fundraising goal	$20,000 (team of 20)
Trip leader(s)	Will Karkoc

This team will partner with a local church near Asheville, NC, to serve the community in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s devastation. On Thursday, September 26, Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, with initial impact over Florida’s Big Bend and sustained winds of 140 mph. As it moved inland, the storm dropped up to 30 inches of rain across the Appalachian Highlands and western North Carolina.

The storm’s extensive impact caused widespread devastation in entire communities. Our partner—Praying Pelican Missions—will coordinate our work with a church partner in affected areas. The specific tasks for our team will be determined based on the most urgent needs at the time of our trip.
