FEMA Reportedly Turning Away Donations for Victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is reportedly turning away donations for victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, according to a report from an on-the-ground volunteer who attempted to deliver a caravan of essential supplies to local residents on Saturday.

Mike VonSteuben, a North Carolina business owner who organized a caravan of 10 vehicles loaded with generators, filters, charcoal, and blankets, said he and his group were turned away by FEMA personnel at the Pensacola Volunteer Fire Department in Burnsville who had taken over the station and were “doing an inventory” of supplies.

“We were informed by a female ‘logistics officer’ that they were not accepting any more donations until Monday, and to take our supplies back,” VonSteuben wrote in a now-viral post on X, formerly Twitter.
