OUR STORY


Conduit began Sept. 29th after seeing the devastation that occurred in the WNC Mountains. We began without a name, you may recognize us as HurricaneHeleneNC, simply as a few friends who saw a need to orchestrate supply drop locations throughout Charlotte and Gaston County. Our first drop off locations were Compleat Kidz in Belmont, Thrift Pony and Wooden Robot in Charlotte, and Alchemy Co-Working in Gastonia.

Working with boots on the ground movements in multiple counties throughout Western NC, we were able to distribute over 28 trucks and trailers full of vital supplies by Oct. 11th. As regions became overwhelmed with the love and support of their neighbors in the form of supplies, we shifted to distribution efforts to help sort and organize overflow donations from larger donation drops. This led to a change of supply hub, and we now occupy a 55,000sqft warehouse one minute past downtown Stanley, NC.

Our mission now, as Conduit Carolinas, is to act as a connector piece between resources outside of the mountains and points of contacts directly serving their WNC communities. This mission cannot be done without volunteers like YOU, who have fueled us from the beginning. We need your help to continue to serve our neighbors, make sure they continue to feel seen as time passes, and give back to the glorious mountains that have shared so much happiness with us over these years.
