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 preparing and serving over 600 meals in a single day and raising approximately $350,000 in cash and goods to assist impacted families and communities.
Furthermore, the resolution commends the North Alabama Boys for their commitment to ongoing disaster relief, including their support for the Yancey County Humane Society and their plans to establish a nonprofit organization aimed at providing timely assistance to communities in crisis. The House of Representatives of Alabama recognizes the selflessness and dedication of these volunteers, celebrating their exemplary service and humanitarian efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
