At GWS Tool Group, we’ve always believed in the power of community. While we typically share updates about our cutting-edge tools and services, today our focus is on something far more urgent—the well-being of our neighbors in western North Carolina.

Hurricane Helene has devastated the Carolinas, leaving behind destruction that’s hard to put into words. Many have lost their homes, access to power, and essential resources. Our facility in Arden, NC, was directly impacted by this severe weather, making this disaster hit especially close to home for the GWS team. We’ve seen firsthand how these storms have affected families, communities, and livelihoods.

In times of hardship, we come together to help. Right now, communities in North Carolina need our collective support to rebuild and recover. Your donations can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by the storm—providing them with food, shelter, and the essential supplies necessary to begin picking up the pieces. Every contribution, no matter how small, counts and brings hope to those who have lost so much.

These are not just distant neighbors; they are friends, colleagues, and in some cases, family. As recovery efforts continue, we urge you to consider lending your support. Whether through a small donation or by spreading the word, we can make a significant impact together.

Here are a few ways you can help:

• Donate to the NC State Hurricane Relief Fund to provide emergency aid to families in need.
• Support local food banks through Feeding The Carolinas, ensuring those affected have access to meals.
• Contribute to the United Way of the Carolinas to help with the Helene recovery efforts.

The path to recovery is long, but by working together, we can help bring hope, relief, and a sense of normalcy back to these communities.

Thank you for your support.
