Power at Penland! After three long weeks, thanks to the dedicated efforts of teams from all over the country putting in long hours, power has been restored.

It’s not in every building— some were damaged and need more work, but for most of campus, electricity is back!

Thank you to the road workers, line workers, electricians, heavy equipment operators, tree removers, truck drivers, National Guard, railroad workers, volunteers, and all our neighbors who have been a part of the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene here in Western North Carolina.

Thank you to our friends, near and far, who have reached out in support.

There’s still a long way to go, but today we are feeling so very grateful.

If you have been affected by Hurricane Helene or are looking for ways to help, please follow the link https://penland.org/support-penland/helene-relief-recovery-support/.

Message from NEA Chair Jackson:

Our thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Helene. We are in close contact with FEMA and our state arts agency partners to understand the impact on the arts community and what support is needed.

The amazing Thursday Night Jam family, which includes jammers, dancers, and spectators, collected hurricane relief donations to the tune of $1,050 (one thousand fifty dollars) at the Thursday jam last night. This will go toward Grayson County relief efforts.

Teachers, help us by allowing your students to write notes/letters/poems or drawings to families, farmers and individuals affected by Helene, or to first responders, emergency personnel and community helpers.
💌💌💌
We will accept physical letters mailed to the office (address below), or you can scan and email notes to Heather Morton (email below).
💌💌💌
It is hard to know how you can help if you live far away or have limited resources to share. Send letters to us, and we will get them in the hands of people who need them most. ❤️

FAQs:
1. When is the deadline? There is not a deadline to speak of, but it would be nice to have these before Thanksgiving.

2. Can adults participate? Absolutely!

3. What if my school cannot afford postage/supplies/ink/materials/etc.?
-Have students all write a small note/sign their name on the board, and the teacher can email a picture of that.
-Have the teacher type what the students say, and email the typed notes.
-Upper elementary students learn letter writing, so teachers can pivot one of those lessons to include writing letters for this initiative. Again, if they cannot physically mail those, scanned letters via email work! Or take a picture of the letter and email it.

4. Can I send small supplies as well; such as pens or pencils or seeds? No, please direct all supply donations to the local missions in your county.

5. How should I address these letters?
-If the letter is to first responders or emergency personnel, or folks in the community helping, they can address them, “Dear helper.”
-If to someone displaced, or suffering loss, the notes can start with “Dear farmer,” “Dear community member,” or “Dear friend.”

6. How will these be delivered? We will be delivering notes and letters by hand as mail services are currently suspended in WNC. We will be doing this through organizations who have folks in western NC communities in the next couple months.

7. Will you include my/student’s/schools/etc. personal information on the letters? No. We will only include what you write on the actual letter, so if you don’t want your personal information included, please don’t write it on the letters.

8. Can I send letters in other languages, like Spanish? Yes! Please make a note about who they are for in English (e.g., “linemen” “first responders” “farmers,” etc.) somewhere on the letter, so we can appropriately sort them.

9. Should I individually envelope and address the letters? No, send them loose and unaddressed. If you have a bunch, put in a large envelope or box and send them to us.

Helene update! All those sheltering on the Penland campus are SAFE.

Please note that our campus is CLOSED.

Students coming in for concentration should NOT travel to campus. Roads are impassable, we have no power, water or cell service.

We will keep you updated as we can. Thank you for reaching out and keeping us in your thoughts.

01/10/2024

We feel incredibly grateful for the support we have received from individuals and organizations across the country as we begin responding to those suffering the devastating effects from Hurricane Helene. We understand that many areas are completely cut off from washed out roads, loss of power/water, and loss of internet/cellular service. When they are ready, craft artists who were affected are encouraged to reach out to us at [email protected]. For those who were not affected by the storm and are able to help, please consider a donation to CERF+. From all of us at CERF+, we thank you!
