About us
"Squared Away Response began as a group of community members in Moore County who saw a need for immediate, hands-on relief in Western North Carolina. We saw an incredible response from our community and within 24 hours of Helene passing through, there were members of our community on the ground providing aid. We are committed to continuing to serve our community and beyond in this manner; bridging the gap between tragedy and long-term support. We provide essential aid—food, shelter, clothing, etc.—to help our neighbors rebuild and recover when they need it most."
After Hurricane Helene
Our work
Within a day of Hurricane Helene, volunteers from Moore County were on the ground in Western North Carolina. In the weeks that followed, the group coordinated more than 30 loads of supplies, along with cook teams and other services.
As winter set in, many families were still sleeping in tents. So our volunteers designed a temporary shelter: an insulated shed with a door, a window and durable siding. It is built in panels that stack flat, so it can be hauled safely into the mountains and put together on site, and a generator can run safely outside to power and heat it.
On November 9, 2024, our community came together for Raise the Roof at the Moore County fairgrounds in Carthage. Forty-two local churches and businesses took part, and volunteers built 15 sheds in a single day. Our partner Lifesize Dwellings helped assemble and finish the sheds in Western NC.
