    PHILLIPSBURG, NJ - The Phillipsburg Rotary Club is stepping up to support relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Helene, which recently caused widespread destruction across Western North Carolina. Communities have been severely impacted, with many homes washed away and families left in dire need of essential supplies. In response, the Rotary Club is asking for donations from the local community to assist in the ongoing volunteer effort led by the Hurricane Helene Airlift Relief (HHAR).

    HHAR has been airlifting supplies to affected areas near Asheville, NC, using local pilots to bypass closed roads and deliver critical goods. Phillipsburg Rotary members will personally deliver donations to Statesville, NC, where the Statesville Fire Company will distribute them.
