Gift card collection underway for Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene

(Submitted)

The Outer Banks Chamber is collecting gift cards to support the recovery efforts of our neighbors in western North Carolina who have been affected by Hurricane Helene. 

The goal is to raise $5,000 worth of gift cards (Home Depot, Walmart, Food Lion, Lowe’s, etc) to be sent to chambers of commerce in the Boone/Blowing Rock/Asheville region for distribution to those in need. While not all of their stores are operable at present, the road to recovery will be lengthy for this beloved region and we want to do what we can to help them.  

If you’d like to contribute, please reach out to the Outer Banks Chamber at 441-8144. Here is a link where contributions can be made via our website: http://Outerbankschamber.com/helpwnc 

Our thoughts, our prayers, and our love are with our friends and colleagues, and all of the business owners and residents in western North Carolina. They have experienced devastation beyond imagination. Help us help them. 

The Outer Banks Chamber joins you in continued prayers for western North Carolina and the other areas that are suffering.
