Town of Spencer Fire and Police Departments collecting basic needs items for Hurricane Helene relief
SPENCER — The Town of Spencer is deeply saddened by the devastation that Hurricane Helene left in her wake in Western North Carolina. Both the Spencer Fire Department and the Spencer Police Department are collecting donated goods to take up to the mountains on various mutual aid trips. More information can be found about both efforts using the links below.
There is an ongoing supply drop-off opportunity at our Firehouse or at North Rowan Elementary School. More information can be found here.
In addition, our Police Dept has encouraged bringing supplies to National Night Out and will continue gathering donations through the end of this week.
