The NRLA is sharing an urgent request to support the members of the Building Material Suppliers Association (BMSA) impacted by Hurricane Helene. BMSA is our neighboring retail lumber association, representing building material suppliers in North and South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Tennessee.
In light of the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene—particularly in North Carolina and eastern Tennessee—BMSA has established a Hurricane Relief Fund to assist the employees of its members. This fund will provide grants of $500 to those affected, with the possibility of increasing this amount as more donations are received. If you’d like to contribute to this vital relief effort, please consider making a donation here.
Additionally, there is a pressing need for bug spray—both insecticide and repellent—as many individuals are dealing with pest issues in the aftermath of the storm. The spray can be purchased on Amazon and shipped to this address:

Thank you for your generosity and support during this challenging time.
