Robeson County Disaster Recovery Coalition, Inc. (RCDRC) and The United Cajun Navy have partnered to obtain a warehouse facility in Lumberton, NC. The 20,000 sq. ft facility will provide space for their long-term recovery group (LTRG) to conduct daily activities for increased capacity and flexibility to give the United Cajun Navy a forward staging site to expand their distribution footprint.
This partnership came about through the lens of recovery for WNC after the devastation brought about by Hurricane Helene. RCDRC recognized the need to preposition supplies in warehouses across the state of North Carolina for long term recovery to increase community resiliency on a local level for preparedness, response, and recovery. RCDRC is improving recovery efforts all across North Carolina and around the world with support from partners such as: The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (The Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund), Good360, the Black Resilience Network, RCDRC sponsors and volunteers, All Healers Mental Health Alliance, The United Cajun Navy, Next Level Disaster Relief and NC VOAD.
As Executive Director of the Robeson County Disaster Recovery Coalition, Inc. (RCDRC), Cassandra Campbell and her volunteers continue to provide exemplary support and resources to their community. The relationship with Samira Davis of the United Cajun Navy was embraced to expand the capacity and capabilities of both organizations to serve Robeson County and the larger North Carolina communities affected by Hurricane Helene and other disasters. Ms. Campbell's years of experience provide the foundation for her leadership in the community, and we celebrate her and the accomplishments of her LTRG!
