Two crazy girls had a conversation on September 25, 2018 about needing warehouse space to store furniture for Hurricane Florence victims. Word quickly spread among friends and our wonderful community, and within two weeks we had filled 3,200 square feet of storage with donated clothing, shoes, furniture, linens, and housewares. By October 25, 2018, we had distributed supplies to over 150 families and over a dozen other non-profits. This simple conversation between co-founders Marian Tucker and Brenda Rocci has evolved into a full scale disaster recovery organization, assisting people throughout Eastern North Carolina and beyond.
