Last week, 30 volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help weatherize eight campers for Helene survivors — making them safer and warmer as winter approaches. At the same time, another team, led by our own Kiera, planted nearly 200 native trees in one of the areas most heavily impacted by the storm.

These efforts are strengthening homes and healing the land — one weekend, one neighbor-to-neighbor act of care at a time. And with more volunteers arriving this week, the momentum continues.

A year after Helene, our community is showing what hope in action looks like. Volunteers, partners, and neighbors are coming together to weatherize homes, restore our waterways, and ensure everyone has the support they need. Explore our latest progress — and how you can be part of what comes next.
