Joel Amick was the co-founder of The Hurricane Helene Airlift Relief at the Statesville Airport. He and his group of volunteers were the first tactical relief flight into the Western North Carolina mountains after Hurricane Helene.
This relief initiative was the catalyst for the United Carolinas Cavalry, founded in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastation of Western NC. Seeing the need firsthand, Joel felt a call to help and now serves as the Managing Director for the organization. Its mission is to be the execution arm for any given catastrophic event in North and South Carolina.
Joel and the team at United Carolinas Cavalry have helped deliver millions of pounds of food and supplies into Western NC, Eastern TN and Northern SC.
Congratulations to Joel Amick and thank you! Our communities are better because of Hometown Heroes like you!
