From stage to service, the Scythian Fan-ily came out to the Charlotte Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte, NC, to not only catch their favorite band, Scythian, but to help support the mountain communities in North Carolina that suffered from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene. It was not just a night for dancing and singing but one to help give back. The Scythian Fan-ily packed a haul trailer full of supplies, which included: underwear, socks, more than sixty knitted beanies, gloves, scarves, thermal layers, fleece pullovers, sweatshirts, and jackets for men, women, and children, cozy fleece blankets, diapers of all sizes, hand warmers, trash bags, dish detergent, disinfectant wipes, batteries, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, can openers, canned soup, canned beans, crackers, cereal bars, shelf-stable milk, protein shakes, and bottled water to name a few items. In addition to the donated items, they raised over $2,000, which goes directly to the recovery efforts.
The donated items by the Scythian Fan-ily were delivered to a facility in Lansing, NC, in Ashe County, where an estimated 500-600 people come to gather supplies. Similar acts of generosity are happening all around the Appalachian region, with Americans stepping up to help in heartwarming ways. One of our favorite quotes here at Appalachian Roots is by Dr. Seus. It's so simple that a small child can understand it, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
