GMP Performance Charlotte Plans Supply Transport to Hurricane Helene Affected Western Carolina. Calls on Audi Community to Support

If you’re not amid the chaos left in the wake of Hurricane Helene, it’s hard to get your head around the level of devastation. One need only look at the imagery and video coming out of affected areas though to get even a hint at what locals are going through. Given the shocking aftermath, we want to call attention to parts of the Audi community and car enthusiasts community in general who are preparing to aid those affected. We’ll start with a post we saw by Audi Club Carolinas sponsor GMP Performance Charlotte who made a post on the Audi Club Carolinas Facebook Group. At this time of writing, GMP is preparing its 53′ semi car hauler, repurposing it to haul much needed supplies to affected areas. They’re calling on community members to send or drop off supples.

We’re going to post the full text of the post here since it was posted to the Audi Club Carolinas Group and can’t be shared (but can be found HERE), and also link the original post so that you can direct comments and questions to them directly via the post. Also worth noting, their website for further contact options can be found HERE.

Thanks to GMP Performance for your quick response and generosity towards your fellow Carolineans.
