84 Lumber donates materials for Asheville recovery
84 Lumber recently donated $15,000 worth of building materials to support of the Rebuilding Hollers Foundation. The act of generosity was covered on a special edition of ABC’s Good Morning America filmed live in Asheville, North Carolina. According to 84, the donation will support the ongoing efforts to help rebuild communities in Yancey and Mitchell Counties. Rebuilding Hollers has already initiated over 385 active projects, working to restore homes, businesses, farms, workshops, and art studios in the region. (You can view the GMA segment here.)
84's donation comes amid the six-month milestone marking the arrival of Tropical Storm Helene in Western North Carolina. Good Morning America broadcast from Asheville during a special two-hour segment, "Asheville Rising," from 7 to 9 a.m. on March 27. The special highlighted the region's recovery progress and ongoing challenges following the catastrophic impact of Helene, which caused widespread destruction.
“84 Lumber has a long-standing commitment to helping communities in need, and we are proud to be part of the Rebuilding Hollers’ mission,” said Amy Smiley, vice president of marketing at 84 Lumber. “This donation is just one way we can give back to our neighbors and help create a better future for Asheville.”
The $15,000 in materials will be made available at the local 84 Lumber store on Montgomery Street in Asheville. 84 says Store Manager Ryan Adair and his team will be on hand to assist Rebuilding Hollers with providing the materials needed to make headway on their first project.
Rebuilding Hollers is dedicated to supporting the recovery of these communities by providing critical construction materials and labor for families and businesses impacted by the storm. For more information on Rebuilding Hollers and to support its efforts, visit rebuildinghollers.org.
