Hurricane Helene Winter Relief Effort
Children of Fallen Heroes is proud to continue our Hurricane Helene Winter Relief efforts, providing vital support to families, first responders, and schools in Northwest North Carolina and Tennessee. With the generous donation of over $400,000 worth of gear from Vikingwear and countless hours of community dedication, we are delivering books, supplies, and essential resources directly to fire departments, schools, and service providers. This initiative reflects our unwavering commitment to those affected, ensuring they have the tools and care needed to rebuild and thrive. As we remain in the region through 2025, we invite volunteers and supporters to join us in making a lasting impact. Together, we can uplift these communities and honor the spirit of resilience and service.
