Our Community Remembers: Help Hurricane Helene Victims Now!
We all know what it’s like to rebuild. Just like our own community weathered devastating floods, families across North Carolina and Tennessee are facing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Homes are destroyed, loved ones are displaced, and basic necessities are scarce.
This is our chance to show the strength of Appalachia and our mountain spirit, by supporting our neighbors by donating supplies or making a financial contribution.
