Hurricane Helene Relief Drive October 1-2

Hurricane Helene brought incredible amounts of devastation to multiple southern states, especially the western parts of North Carolina. Record-high flooding, mudslides, and powerful winds have destroyed western NC. Many popular tourist attractions that fellow mountain lovers enjoyed visiting are now gone; mountain natives had everything they owned swept away right in front of them, and many have lost their lives. Now more than ever, our friends in the western mountains and valleys of our beloved state need our help.

Quality Equipment is holding a relief drive from Tuesday, October 1 - Wednesday, October 2, 2024. All items must be collected by the evening of Wednesday, October 2nd.
