After a hurricane, the lights may be out but we can still share the power of a friendly face at the door. Plymouth Hurricane Helpers volunteer to check on members who live near to them.


None of us are meant to be first responders or emergency service providers. We can offer encouragement, mutual aid or call for more significant assistance if that were needed.



Please consider serving as a Plymouth Hurricane Helper in your neighborhood.
