Apex Transit has been deeply moved by the overwhelming support and generosity shown in the aftermath of the devastating disaster in Helene NC. The team’s involvement in the relief efforts has been both inspiring and humbling, and they are proud to be part of such a resilient community.
This past week, the team helped deliver supplies to Altec Industries in Burnsville, NC, where the Army National Guard has been running rescue missions and distributing donations. A distribution center has been set up to provide essential supplies and hot meals to those in need, with hundreds of volunteers working tirelessly to ensure resources reach affected communities.
Key updates from the ground reveal the extent of the destruction, with many towns wiped off the map and entire communities living in tents. While some main roads are now open, many areas remain inaccessible, and air missions are being used to deliver supplies to those trapped. Restoration and cleanup efforts are ongoing, with utility vehicles working to restore basic services.
Apex Transit also had the opportunity to assist with transporting donations from a local logistics organization to Statesville Airport, gathering more supplies for the relief efforts. Volunteers have been crucial in organizing and distributing the supplies, with businesses donating meals and individuals taking time off to help.
Apex Transit expresses immense gratitude for the dedication and generosity of all those involved. The trucking community’s willingness to donate time and resources has been a shining example of the strength and compassion in the face of adversity.
Efforts to support the affected communities continue, and Apex Transit remains committed to helping where it’s needed most.
The outpouring of support for the Helene NC community continues to grow, demonstrating the power of collaboration and community action. Last week, Premier Nutrition donated a truckload of Premier Protein High Protein Shakes to help those in need.
Apex Transit played a key role in facilitating the pickup and delivery of 46,000 meals to the mountain communities most affected by the recent challenges. In addition to distributing the shakes to individuals, some of the products were dropped off at a local resource center in Hendersonville, NC, ensuring they reached those who needed them most.
Apex Transit is deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this effort. The swift and generous response to the need for shelf-stable food was a testament to the strength and unity of this community.
The logistical support provided by local organizations helped ensure that everything ran smoothly, allowing the resources to be transported quickly and efficiently. Apex Transit & Logistics was fortunate to have a truck already in the area, which played a crucial role in helping facilitate the effort.
This initiative highlights the incredible compassion and resourcefulness of those who came together to support their neighbors in need. Apex Transit is proud to be a part of this compassionate network and remains committed to assisting those in need in the future.
We look forward to continuing to support efforts that make a difference in the lives of communities facing challenges.
