Tropical Storm Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane and was downgraded as it reached Western North Carolina on Sept. 27, 2024. The storm unleashed precursor rainfall that led to severe flooding, landslides, and high winds, decimating homes, businesses, and entire communities.
Rebuilding Hollers is dedicated to supporting the recovery of these communities by providing critical construction materials and labor for families and businesses impacted by the storm. For more information on Rebuilding Hollers and to support its efforts, visit聽.
