RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Roy Cooper will head to the Western part of the state Monday following catastrophic damage from Helene.

Dozens, if not hundreds, of roads remain blocked by trees or debris, or completely washed away after the storm.

Over the weekend, emergency management crews said all roads in the Western part of the state should be considered closed.

Help has been pouring in from across the state. There are several donation drives and initiatives in and around Wake County to help. Here are some of them:

  • The Durham Rescue Mission is accepting donations of cleaning supplies, water, diapers, and more. They’re collecting those donations on Monday at their Durham location.
  • The North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund is accepting monetary donations. You can donate at nc.gov/donate
  • The United Way of North Carolina launched “UW Helps NC Fund.” You can donate at unitedwaync.org
  • The Wake Forest Fire Department is accepting donations of water, non-perishable food items, baby formula, pet food and supplies, and more. You can drop donations off at Wake Forest Dire Department Station #1 at 420 Elm Avenue.
  • According to social media, Dogwood Country Club in Raleigh is collecting donations of sports drinks, bug spray, sunscreen, baby formula, pet food, and more. Donations can be dropped off at their Raleigh location during normal business hours. They’ll also be collecting donations at 6 a.m. on Tuesday and Friday.
  • Apex Baptist Church and Providence Church, within Baptists On Mission, are accepting donations of any kind. They also are seeking folks willing to volunteer at any of their feeding units at First Baptist Boone and Biltmore Baptist in Arden, or their recovery sites in Boone, Spruce Pine, Hendersonville and Marion.
