Working with Pender County and Pender County Emergency Services, the Pender Long Term Recovery Group reminds Pender County citizens there are opportunities for assistance as well as opportunities to volunteer. It is possible to volunteer while practicing social distancing.
Organizations with volunteers are available to assist residents with needs like grocery, pharmacy, or food bank pick up, wellness calls, etc. should register now on www.crisiscleanup.org. Pender Long Term Recovery Group (Pender LTRG) is a registered partner.
“Individuals in need of assistance are encouraged to access www.coronacommunity.org if help of any kind is needed,” said Olivia Dawson, Pender LTRG Co-Chair & County Representative. “The resident will make a request for assistance through this website and a voluntary service group will respond to the request through Crisis Cleanup.”
Crisis Cleanup is designed to help the established voluntary relief organizations help communities by collaborative disaster management and recovery.
Share Cape Fear is another option for people to help during this pandemic. Sharecapefear.org is designed to encompass all the nonprofit groups in the region. This platform assists with needs, volunteer management, and ways to donate. Organizations are encouraged to sign-up, and to complete their profile. Sign-up is free.
“Share Cape Fear is a new tool in the cape fear area, organized and designed for non-profit groups,” said Dawson. “This helps with the efforts of managing the community needs and efforts to lend help.”
“The Pender LTRG is dedicated to support our citizens in providing available assistance, resources, and recovery services during and after disasters,” Dawson said.
There are many available resources for food assistance around the county, Dawson added.
