Hurricane Helene Response
Samaritan’s Purse continues to help families recover from Hurricane Helene across western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee in Jesus’ Name. Volunteer teams and staff are actively working to repair and replace hundreds of homes that were damaged or destroyed—providing safe, permanent housing solutions as well as new furniture for both renters and homeowners in need. As the Christian relief organization continues these long-term recovery efforts, they are providing essential aid while also reminding impacted families that God has not forgotten them.
