The National Association of Counties affinity group, National Association of Hispanic County Officials (NAHCO) has launched a GoFundMe page to support an online gathering of contributions for those who want to support this effort but may not be able to drop off cases of water. All proceeds will be directed to North Carolina and other Helene impacted Counties and has an initial fundraising goal of $20,000."
