We're Still Here... (Update Fall 2026)
Every storm brings back trauma and fear. But Rapha Relief and Impact 828 are still here.
For 21 months, Rapha Relief has partnered closely with Impact 828. On January 9, 2025, Impact 828 officially transitioned its operations to Rapha House, joining forces with Rapha Relief to strengthen crisis response across the region.
Three amazing women currently run the hub based out of Rapha and work in close connection with many other hub leaders in the area and some amazing volunteers! Their hearts carry Christ as they continue to bring hope and light in the mountains.
In just the last 2 months we have
• Assisted 181 individuals
• Supported 68 families
• Delivered donations to ABCCM and other hubs
• Helped four families obtain appropriate car seats
• Coordinated incoming and outgoing deliveries throughout the region
• Continued crisis response efforts across Western North Carolina
We have also:
• Supported local schools with supplies, hygiene items, and clothing
• Helped children who feel the impact most deeply
• Served local rest homes and their residents
We have never stopped showing up.
Thank You
Thank you for your prayers — for our community, for those serving, for the supplies we need, and for the rebuilding still ahead.
Thank you for your donations — supplies, financial gifts, and the gift of your time.
Thank you for visiting, caring, and continuing to stand with us.
As we enter another winter in the mountains, we thank God for all He has done to heal our hearts and our land — and we ask Him to keep moving in Western North Carolina.

What we Did in WNC (Update from 2025)
Thank you to everyone who has generously given of their time and gifts, sent donations, and supported relief efforts at Rapha House. You are the hands and feet of Jesus and your support has brought life and hope to a devastated region.
We are continuing to see a shift in what the Lord is doing in WNC and at Rapha House and we are honored to have the privilege of continuing to support the rebuilding of our area and meeting people's needs. We are setting up to provide more long term rebuilding and relief. We are partnering with several groups to provide...
-resources and supplies,
-coordinating volunteers,
-and continuing rebuilding efforts.
Take a look at some photos and videos below to get an idea of some of the things going on in our community.
If you are interested in partnering with ongoing efforts in WNC, the best way to currently help is through monetary donations which will help meet the ever changing needs
of families walking through the process of rebuilding.
100% of money given goes to relief efforts
including getting folks back into a home and
providing necessary supplies until that happens.
All gifts are tax deductible, and you can follow

How it Started (Update from 2024)
Delivering Supplies to the
Surrounding Communities including
Marshall and Burnsville
Some of our Relief Efforts to Shelby
and Christmas Gifts
Most pictures do not show the recipients of supplies or their homes to protect their privacy (other than those who have given permission) and uphold their dignity during this difficult time.
What does rebuilding look like?
Many flooded homes we have encountered must be gutted and then often flooring, electrical, insulation, and sheetrock must be replaced. Thank you to all who have sown into restoring peoples homes and those who have partnered with their gifts and talents! We were able to rebuild a veterans home (the veteran requested no pictures be posted for their privacy) and hope to help more Western North Carolinians get back in their homes.
This is what a gutted home looks like after a flood. The inside is cleaned and ready for the next steps.
