Hurricane Matthew Disaster Assistance:

  1. The Winterville Church of Christ has a disaster relief effort underway. It is serving people that were in the flood zones of Pitt County, however, they may be able to assist those in other counties affected in the flood zone. They have food boxes, clothing, water, cleaning supplies for cleanup, some clothing, and there is no income requirement for this. If they register with them and need help with furniture or appliances, then there is an income cap on that but they could possibly help with providing furniture for one room (bed room or living room), and one appliance.

3170 Church Street Ext, Winterville, NC 28590

This could be very helpful for the Grifton people that flooded as Winterville is not too far to travel. I can’t remember the days they are opening but you can direct people to call for assistance.
