11/06/2025: Completed 595 home rebuilds with 257 in progress. New home construction is beginning this month.
Helene donations are purchasing building materials that will be used to help get families back in their homes. With volunteers providing the labor we can double or even triple the number of families we can get back in their homes. Throughout the process volunteers are providing hope, not only through the construction process by providing a listening ear, a smile, a prayer and encouragement to the family that they are not forgotten.
We will be working for the next 4-5 years to help with rebuild efforts. You don’t need to be trained to serve. We're grateful to the more than 30,000 people who have volunteered since the storm hit our state.

Initial Helene Response
Baptist disaster relief volunteers have been working since Helene hit. We started with mass feeding, and along with our partners with NC Emergency Management, Red Cross and Salvation army were able to provide almost 500,000 hot meals.
Next came chainsaw jobs, mud-outs and tear outs of homes that had been flooded. Volunteers from 48 states assisted in tearing out flooring and drywall, to stop the spread of mold and give encouragement with conversations, smiles and prayers. Over 5000 jobs were completed.
