In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many North Carolina residents are left waiting for federal help, but the Amish community from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has taken immediate action — doing more proportionally these Americans than the Biden-Harris regime.
Hundreds of Amish volunteers have arrived in Swannanoa, offering critical support to families who lost their homes to the floods. Their efforts have provided hope and relief as the community works to rebuild.
Each week, groups of 57 Amish volunteers travel by bus to North Carolina, staying from Monday to Friday to construct small cabins for displaced families. After one group completes its week, another arrives to continue the work, creating a steady effort that has inspired many in the area. They plan to keep going until enough shelters have been built for all in need.
Thank you to the Amish community for stepping up to help the disaster relief recovery efforts in western North Carolina. The temps are below freezing at night so shelters and generators, propane tanks and propane and warm weather gear are greatly needed right now. Thank you.… https://t.co/YvlGcIdaqs

While in Swannanoa, the Amish live simply, staying in tents and living off donations and the land. They bring their own supplies, ask for no assistance, and call their work “Cabins for Christ.” Their only request is to be allowed to work freely and independently as they help the community recover.
God bless the Amish.

For many locals, the Amish volunteers are seen as a lifeline. Residents have been vocal about their gratitude, noting that these volunteers have done more for their community than any government agency. In a difficult time, the Amish have provided not only physical assistance but also a spirit of resilience and care.
The Amish have made it clear that they are not seeking praise or rewards. For them, this work is part of their faith, and they believe it is their duty to support those in need. Their self-sufficiency and dedication have left a deep impression on those they are helping.

As the Amish volunteers continue their efforts, residents in North Carolina have come to view them as a symbol of strength and kindness. Their actions have shown that even in the hardest of times, communities can find support from unexpected places.
Would this in anyway determine the outcome of the upcoming election 🤔 😉 ?
