MountainStrong Hurricane Recovery Fund
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
SAVE THE DATE! Stronger than the Storm: A MountainTrue Gathering honoring the challenge, the recovery & the people making it happen in Asheville, NC 10/2
October 2 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
2025 is flying by, and we are rapidly approaching one year since Hurricane Helene—but we’re still here and stronger than ever. We searched our hearts for the right way to mark this anniversary—and in the end, we knew what mattered most: being together and honoring the people that have done the hard work to get us here (YOU!). This event will be our Annual Member Gathering, Volunteer Appreciation, and community celebration rolled into one special event!
We hope you will join us as we recognize this milestone with an inspiring celebration of the people, the progress, and the power of community.
