Cash Support for Helene Recovery
WNC Bridge is partnering with GiveDirectly and Propel to provide direct financial assistance to households in Avery, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, and Yancey Counties to support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.
Eligible individuals who successfully complete a brief enrollment form in the Propel app may be able to receive $2,200 in cash assistance.
We’re asking our nonprofit partners and community members to help spread the word. You may be eligible if:
- You live in Avery, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, or Yancey County
- Are 18 years or older
- Use the Propel App and receive SNAP benefits
- Have not previously received Hurricane Helene relief funding from GiveDirectly
- Individuals must be signed up on the Propel app by June 1st in order to receive notifications about the program and to apply once enrollment opens. If you’re not already using Propel, you can download it for free from the App Store or Google Play.
Please note, funding is limited, and it’s first come, first served.
