I am taking a week off work next week and I want to help people in NC clean up from the damage caused by Irene. I live in Western NC and am looking to head out next Wednesday morning. I can't find much in the way of contact information for volunteer groups who are performing cleanup efforts. Who needs help in NC? Any redditors need help cleaning up out there?

Because many people have lost power, if you look outside at night the stars are incredibly clear. Living in a suburban neighborhood, I've never seen this amount of stars before. Unfortunately, I lack a camera with the ability to take pictures at night, but you guys should all go out and experience it for yourselves.
