Activities or mission (Part I)

MOUNTAIN STRONG IS DEDICATED TO REBUILDING COMMUNITIES AND RESTORING HOPE BY PROVIDING SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS MOST IMPACTED BY HURRICANE HELENE, RANGING FROM FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO SECURING NECESSARY SUPPLIES AND CONTRACTORS FOR HOME AND PROPERTY REPAIRS.

  • COMMUNITY FUND - DURING THE CURRENT YEAR WE HAD EVENTS, INCLUDING A HOLIDAY FUND, IN WHICH WE PROVIDED FUNDS FOR MEALS AND GIFTS TO FAMILIES IN NEED DURING THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS. WE ALSO SPONSORED MEALS IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP THOSE WHO TEMPORARILY LOST WIC BENEFITS. DURING CHRISTMAS, MOUNTAIN STRONG HOSTED AND HAD VOLUNTEERS STAFF AN EVENT THAT RAISED FUNDS FOR TOYS AND GIFT CARDS DONATED BY LOCAL BUSINESSES. THE EVENT ALSO PROVIDED FOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. OTHER PROJECTS INCLUDED COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE FOR BLUE RIDGE ELEMENTARY TO ENSURE THAT EACH CHILD WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A BOOK AT THEIR ANNUAL BOOK FAIR; SPONSORSHIP FOR CANE RIVER MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR A FIELD TRIP; ASSISTANCE WITH A TRIP FOR STUDENTS TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA; PURCHASE OF YOUTH LEAGUE SPORTS EQUIPMENT THAT HAD BEEN LOST IN HURRICANE HELENE; PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER TO SPONSOR CHILDREN THAT NEEDED TO BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT HOME BY PROVIDING CLOTHING AND OTHER BASIC NEEDS

THE HURRICANE ALSO SHOWED MOUNTAIN STRONG THE CRITICAL NEED IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE HEALTH CARE NEEDS. WE SAW A HUGE NEED GOING FORWARD AND STARTED WORK IN 2025 ON DEVELOPING A FREE CLINIC IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED. INITIAL COSTS INCURRED IN 2025 FOR THIS PROJECT INCLUDE LEASING AND OFFICE, PURCHASE OF A MEDICAL EXAM TABLE, AND FILING FORMS WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA FREE CLINIC ASSOCIATION

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
