Gathering Good was able to help a family in Western North Carolina that lost their home(s) and all their belongings when Hurricane Helene hit. A whopping $2800 was raised from Katie Bagwell Photography, a holiday fundraiser, and personal donations. Gathering Good collected items and set up a Holiday Bizarre "store" at a local law office where people could shop or donate funds. It was fun and festive and required minimal effort for a significant impact! Donated gift cards, along with $2800 they received, allowed them to replace necessities lost and purchase furnishings for their new apartment. Most importantly, they felt the love and support from so many new friends in Raleigh.
