We’re Ready When Disaster Hits
The Benedix Foundation for Disaster Relief believes that a predictable, repeatable disaster response is not only a more efficient way to deliver relief but it is by far the most humane way to support communities in their time of crisis.
The Benedix Foundation will be prepared prior to a disaster with a definable quantity of relief supplies that allows us to set expectations with the people on the ground who need our help the most. Knowing what they can expect to arrive for relief will allow families and individuals to focus on other things. Chaos is the biggest risk of a disaster, and eliminating as much of that as possible allows communities to focus their resources quickly and efficiently into appropriate directions.
Focusing on high efficiency, high performing aircraft we are able to best utilize our volume and weight carrying capacities to serve the needs of the communities we are providing relief to as quickly as possible–often faster than government relief.
PROJECT YURT
PROJECT YURT
*NOTE: The above images are from the Amazon listing. You can see the full description and pricing here.
Winter comes earlier to the mountains of North Carolina than it does elsewhere, and this year the cold weather is coming right on the heels of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Project Yurt provides a four season tent to those in need of a place to call home while they rebuild their lives. Each Yurt is heated with propane (heaters generously donated by Lowes Home Improvement) and is stocked with items such as beds/cots, bedding, towels, cookware, clothing, etc. We accept all donations at our warehouse located at 207 Bickett Blvd in Raleigh. You can also order items from our Amazon Wishlist and have them sent to the warehouse. And, of course, we always accept monetary contributions (just click the donate button) and offers to volunteer! (fill out form below).
THANK YOU to our friends at Locked and Loaded Bar and Grill in Garner, NC, for their amazing fundraiser and generous donation to the Foundation, with which we have purchased four yurts for our neighbors in Western NC.
