Callie Warner: A Hurricane Hero

After Hurricane Helene, Callie Warner became a force of fierce compassion—delivering hot meals to the hollers of Swannanoa, cooking for entire communities, and spreading hope through heartfelt social media updates.

She helped organize, document, and distribute resources—while also collaborating with artist Peg Gignoux to give away over 50 handmade quilts to families who lost everything. Each quilt, like each meal Callie made, was a gift of comfort and love.

Callie didn’t just lend a hand—she lifted spirits, created connection, and reminded us all what generosity looks like in action. Her joy is contagious, her words powerful, and her presence a true light during dark times.

Callie, we are so proud to honor you as one of our Hurricane Heroes.
