Today, Governor Roy Cooper encouraged people in North Carolina and across the country to donate time and money to Hurricane Florence recovery efforts.
“As North Carolinians affected by Florence begin picking up the pieces, I want them to know that we'll work diligently to keep people from being left behind,” Gov. Cooper said. “Donating to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund or volunteering can help people who have been devastated by Florence.”
