After Hurricane Helene
HipHen Uniques was a cherished antique store, owned and run by Mark and Lynette Staton who are locals of the area.
The shop was known for its rare collectibles and vintage items.
A local favorite for years, it was a hub for collectors and community members until it was devastated by Hurricane Helene.
​ Today, HipHen Uniques has partnered with the community to transform into the Bat Cave Relief Distribution Hub.
Mark and Lynnette coordinate volunteer efforts to aid in local recovery.
Where the shop once stood, the Bat Cave Disaster Relief Supply Hub now stands. It serves as a center for donations, supplies, and volunteer coordination, helping rebuild and support affected families.
This new chapter reflects the Staton's commitment to the community's resilience and collective rebuilding efforts.

Our Volunteers
The Bat Cave Disaster Relief team is made up of dedicated volunteers, local leaders, and expert professionals from various fields, all working together to support the community's recovery. This diverse team includes emergency responders, construction workers, logistics coordinators, and volunteers from across the country, each contributing their skills to rebuild homes, clear debris, and provide essential services. Their collective efforts are driven by a shared commitment to restoring Bat Cave and helping its residents rebuild stronger than before.

but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
