When KGA Partner, Scott Laster isn't serving our clients, he's serving our community with the South Orange Rescue Squad as an Operations Captain. Thank you, Scott and all the other volunteers who are serving during this critical time for Central NC!

🌟 A huge THANK YOU to our incredible all-volunteer team for their unwavering dedication during Chantal! 🌧️
Our Technical Rescue Team (TRT) worked tirelessly through Sunday night, performing heroic swift water rescues and into Monday with land search, rescue and recovery. Our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provided critical care to countless patients caught off guard by the storm and widespread power outages resulting in medical equipment failures.
We’re deeply grateful to our mutual aid partners for their steadfast support and our SORS members for their ongoing recovery efforts. This community’s strength and spirit shine brightest in tough times. We ❤️ you all and love seeing how you’re ALL helping each other!
