In the wake of Hurricane Helene, which has left a trail of destruction across the southeastern United States, the YMCA of Metro North, in partnership with Total Temp Control, is participating in an Emergency Relief Drive to provide critical supplies to the victims of the storm. The relief drive will collect donations at the Melrose and Peabody YMCA branches through October 11th, with all collected items being transported to North Carolina to assist affected communities.
Items urgently needed include:

• Bottled Water
• Cleaning Supplies
• Personal Hygiene Products
• Infant Supplies (diapers, formula, wipes, etc.)
• Pet Supplies
• Non-Perishable Food

“We are proud to join Total Temp Control in their efforts to make a difference for those in desperate need. This relief drive is a tangible way for our community to come together and extend a helping hand to our neighbors in North Carolina,” said Kathleen Walsh, President and CEO of
the YMCA of Metro North. Many people are looking for a way to help after the hurricanes, and Total Temp Control is stepping up to find solutions."

The collected supplies will be delivered directly to affected areas in North Carolina by Total Temp Control, who will coordinate the transportation. The YMCA and Total Temp Control are calling on residents of Melrose, Peabody, and surrounding communities to contribute.
