"I am extremely blessed to serve as Executive Director of the Robeson County Disaster Recovery Coalition (RCDRC), a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit corporation in Lumberton, NC coordinating recovery services for disaster survivors with unmet needs.   We are doing a great work to help Robeson County residents recover from Hurricane Matthew.  This is a long-term recovery process that can't be accomplished by us alone but through a collaborative effort on the part of us all.  I hope you feel the same way about the shared responsibility to see Robeson County fully recover by maximizing the utilization of community resources in the coordinated delivery of services to Robeson County residents who are suffering as a result of Hurricane Matthew."
