Hurricane Helen Relief Donations

Madison Local Schools is hosting a Hurricane Helene relief donation collection from October 16th through the 18th at all three of our schools.

The Student Councils at the high school, middle school, and elementary level as well as the high school Key Club will be helping collect donations for Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina.

MLSD will be partnering with Berachah Church to send supplies down to Nebo Crossing Church in Marion, North Carolina. Nebo Crossing Church is the distribution center for McDowell County and is also where the National Guard is being housed.

The people in this area are in need of many items listed below:
