In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many beloved local businesses in the High Country have been significantly impacted. October is usually our busiest season, with visitors flocking to see the stunning fall foliage. This month’s sales are essential, often carrying these businesses through the slower months of the year.
To help these businesses recover, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of effected spots that need support. You can make a difference by donating, shopping online, or purchasing gift cards for future visits.
