Hurricane Relief

In light of Hurricane Helene's recent impacts, Fayetteville and Cumberland County, North Carolina, want to assure residents and visitors that we remain open and ready to welcome all who can safely travel here. Additionally, our hearts go out to the communities in Western North Carolina and Upper East Tennessee affected by Hurricane Helene. As part of our response efforts, DistiNCtly Fayetteville is actively donating and collecting supplies for individuals and families impacted by the hurricane in partnership with Veterans Services and Off-Road Outreach. If you plan to visit Fayetteville in the coming weeks and are interested in assisting in the relief effort, you can donate items at our office at 245 Person Street. Learn More.
