From Avery County Government on FB: ⚠️PLEASE NOTICE: (read all)
The three "OFFICIAL" donation/drop-off sites in Avery County are full, and we have run out of space to store stuff.
To continue to receive donations our neighboring county is helping us out. We ARE NOT turning away donations, and are VERY appreciative of the outpour of support this county has seen this past week.
Although these donations are being dropped off elsewhere, they are not being distributed anywhere else, everything meant for Avery County, will remain Avery County's! Please see the graphic for addresses.
