How to help aywood County Government urges those interested in donating time to help with relief and recovery efforts to visit www.recoverhaywood.com and click the “Volunteer” option at the top of the page for registration information. According to the Haywood County Government, “registering to volunteer helps make sure that your talents and skills are put to use where they are most needed. It also minimizes the risk of scammers showing up unannounced and taking advantage of our neighbors when they are most vulnerable.”
