This resolution acknowledges the significant impact of Hurricane Helene, which struck North Carolina in September 2024, resulting in extensive destruction, loss of life, and the need for substantial federal disaster relief. It highlights the efforts of the North Alabama Boys, a group of volunteers led by Rand Hutchison and Adron Davis, who organized relief initiatives to support those affected by the hurricane. Their contributions included serving over 600 meals in one day and raising approximately $350,000 in cash and goods for impacted families and communities. Additionally, they assisted the Yancey County Humane Society by providing pet food and relocating their storage shed.

The resolution commends the North Alabama Boys for their dedication, selflessness, and commitment to community service, emphasizing their role in providing immediate aid and their plans to establish a nonprofit organization aimed at delivering disaster relief within a 48-hour response window. It recognizes their exemplary humanitarian efforts and honors their ongoing mission to support communities in crisis.
