Grounded Boots Relief

Among the first boots on the ground, we deliver critical support and resources to communities when they need it most.

Grounded Boots Relief is a nonprofit disaster response organization based in Western North Carolina. Our mission is simple but critical: we respond immediately to disasters, providing life-saving resources like food, water, and medical, while also assisting in implementing long-term recovery efforts wherever we’re needed. From hurricanes to wildfires, we focus on what’s most needed in the moment—whether that’s drones for SAR, boots on the ground clearing debris, or propane tanks for heating. We’re here to bring hope, help, and tangible relief when it matters most. With community support and trusted partnerships, we’re building a future where no one will have to face disaster alone.
