How co-ops led hurricane relief efforts in WNC

Did you know co-ops in Western North Carolina led relief efforts to get needed supplies to their communities? In this video, I’ll share my experience connecting with co-op relief efforts after Hurricane Helene hit Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina. 

On October 2nd, I visited Firestorm Book Collective (@firestormcoop) and Poder Emma (@poderemma, @colaborativalamilpa) to understand how cooperatives respond to natural disasters through mutual aid. After what I witnessed, I’m certain co-ops are best suited for rapid-response due to their strong ties to their communities.
