Our Commitment to Hurricane Helene Recovery
Following Hurricane Helene’s devastation of Western North Carolina in the fall of 2024, Habitat Charlotte Region committed $500,000 toward recovery efforts to address the thousands of homes that were damaged or destroyed.
We are proud to announce that, with the help of generous donors, we have successfully met our goal of raising an additional $500,000. These funds will directly support our multi-year initiative to rebuild and repair hurricane-damaged homes in Avery County.
