Help Us Rebuild: Support OurAVL.org’s Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts
Our Community Is In Crisis
Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction throughout Asheville and its surrounding areas. With nearly 14 inches of rain over just a few days, the storm caused severe flooding, power outages, and widespread devastation. Roads have been washed away, homes destroyed, and entire neighborhoods, especially those on the outskirts, have been left isolated without access to essential services.
Real Stories, Real Impact
Communities that were already marginalized now face even more challenges. Residents in areas outside Asheville’s city limits are struggling without power, clean water, and basic supplies. Many have been cut off from the resources available within the city.
