Rolesville Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments Take Donations to WNC

On September 4, 2024, The Rolesville Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments took three trailers full of donations to western North Carolina. The supplies will go to those impacted by Helene. They also helped the National Guard by transporting supplies from the drop-off center to a distribution site at North Hendersonville High School.


The group plans to make more trips to western North Carolina. The department will continue to accept donations until further notice. You can drop off your donations at the Rolesville Police Station (M-F, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.), the Public Works building (M-F, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.), or the Rolesville Fire Department. Pie-Zano's (located next to the police station) will also take donations between 5 to 9 p.m. if you can't make it during regular business hours.


See the picture below for more information about items that are needed. If you're interested in learning about other ways to help, click the link HERE.
