Today, tomorrow, and Thursday mark the last chance to donate to Poets for Appalachia, a literary-minded fundraiser for Appalachian communities devastated by Hurricane Helene that has raised more than $3,000 for three grassroots organizations helping with recovery.
The program involves making a donations of at least $30 to one of three organizations based in western North Carolina--BeLoved Asheville, Rural Organizing and Resilience (ROAR), and MountainTrue--and then submitting receipts for those donations to Poets for Appalachia. Once the project concludes on October 31, Poets for Appalachia will send a book of poetry from an independent publisher in Appalachia for every $30 donated.
The project has run since October 18. More details about the program, and a full list of supporting publishers, can be found here.
