Help Blue Ridge Builders Recover from Helene

Donation protected
Help Our Builders and Associates Rebuild After Hurricane Helene

The Builders Association of the Blue Ridge Mountains is a tight-knit community of dedicated professionals who have always been there to build and support Western North Carolina. Today, many of our own members are facing devastating losses in the wake of Hurricane Helene, with their businesses and livelihoods severely impacted.

Our members, including builders, suppliers, concrete plants, warehouses, and other industry professionals, are the backbone of our association—they’re the ones who construct the homes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure that shape our beautiful region. Now, after this natural disaster, they need our help. Many of our members have lost not only their buildings but also their trucks, tools, and essential supplies—the very equipment they rely on to do their work and keep their businesses running.

Our Goal:
We are raising funds specifically to help our members recover from these losses and get back on their feet. Your support will directly provide:
  • Replacement of Trucks and Equipment: Financial aid to replace lost vehicles and the tools needed to get back to work.
  • Rebuilding Business Locations: Assistance to rebuild and restore their offices, workshops, and supply spaces.
  • Replenishing Supplies: Support for purchasing essential materials that were lost, enabling our members to resume their operations as quickly as possible.

Why Your Help Matters:
This fundraiser is focused entirely on our members who have lost so much in this storm. We know that there are many efforts underway to help the broader community, but our focus is on supporting both our builders and associate members—professionals like suppliers, concrete plants, warehouses, and other essential businesses that keep our industry moving. By helping our entire membership recover and rebuild their businesses more quickly, you're not just supporting individuals—you’re accelerating the recovery process for our entire community. When our members are back on their feet, they can resume the critical work of rebuilding homes, neighborhoods, and infrastructure that benefit us all.

Every Dollar Makes a Difference:
Your donation, whether big or small, will have a direct impact on the lives of these hardworking professionals. These funds will go straight to the members of our association to help them replace what was lost and rebuild stronger than ever. Together, we can make sure they have the resources they need to keep doing what they do best—building homes and hope for our community.

Thank You for Standing With Us:
We deeply appreciate your generosity and support in this challenging time. With your help, we can lift up our fellow members, restore their livelihoods, and show them that they’re not alone on the road to recovery.

Let’s come together to help those who have always been there to build a better future for us all! We are stronger together.
