The Outer Banks Community Foundation collects disaster relief donations for the Outer Banks. Every penny received will directly assist individuals and families in need on the Outer Banks, from Corolla to Ocracoke and all of Dare County. Your Community Foundation helps with many local disaster relief efforts, from immediate relief to long-term recovery, reconstruction, and rebuilding.

Donations to the Community Foundation’s Disaster Relief Fund are used for emergency food, shelter, water, sanitation, supplies, and health care. We have been administering disaster relief funds for Hurricanes Matthew, Isabel, Irene, Sandy, Arthur, Hermine, Michael–and, most recently, Dorian. We know it’s a matter of when–and not if–another hurricane will strike.

The Disaster Relief Fund is ready and waiting so that we can respond immediately to emergency situations. However, donors can support this fund at any time, not just when disaster strikes.

If you wish to support our disaster relief efforts, please call us at 252-261-8839, or click here to donate securely online. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible.

We gratefully acknowledge the thousands of 2019 donors who contributed to Hurricane Dorian disaster relief efforts. Those donors are listed here.
