HopeMill stayed busy this summer! From hands-on recovery projects to impactful community programs, we are proud to be paving the way toward resilience and recovery across Western North Carolina. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the Back-to-School Backpack Program in Avery County a success. Nearly a year after disaster struck, it’s clear that our neighbors in WNC still need us and we sincerely thank you for your continued support.

We had the opportunity to meet several immediate needs and take on a major restoration project at Whitson Cemetery. That effort reminded us of something powerful: with collaboration, determination, and the insight of the affected community, there’s nothing we can’t figure out together. This volume is full of success stories, hard work, and valuable lessons, and we’re excited to share it with you!

This season, we’re excited to share the incredible progress your support has made possible. From bridge construction in remote areas, to special deliveries and helping families return home with dignity. You’ll also meet some of the unsung heroes, volunteers, case managers, and partners who make this all possible every single day. Thank you for being a part of the HopeMill family. We couldn’t do this without you!

As we move forward in our mission to support Western North Carolina’s recovery after Hurricane Helene, we are continually amazed by the generosity and dedication of this community. Your support has helped families regain stability, restore essential services, and rebuild their lives. Here’s an update on the impact you’ve made and how you can continue to help.
