Empowering mutual aid for regenerative disaster response and recovery.

About Us

WNCRR is a nonprofit, grassroots-led initiative created to help streamline logistic needs for response, relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene and SoCal fires.

Connecting community needs with mutual aid networks supported by technology fosters effective collaboration, enhances resource sharing, and strengthens solidarity.

Together, we are building a resilient and regenerative future for Western North Carolina, Southern California, and beyond.

Real talk: The majority of people recognize that disasters—whether fueled by climate change, systemic failures, or sudden crises—are a growing emergency.

Local grassroots communities have real, proven solutions that address root causes and help communities adapt.

Yet, these efforts are largely invisible in mainstream media and receive less than 2% of global funding, despite being some of the most effective, scalable, and cost-efficient approaches to disaster response and long-term resilience.
