Rebuilding Hollers Foundation


Welcome to the Rebuilding Hollers Foundation!

We are a group of local neighbors determined to rebuild after Hurricane Helene. Our remote mountain region experienced catastrophic devastation and we are determined to rebuild our neighbors homes, small businesses and farms! We have had 596 requests for assistance from our neighbors in Yancey & Mitchell Counties in Western North Carolina. In the last year we have completed 302 of those requests, we still have 272 neighbors with unmet needs & we are doing whatever it takes to get them home!

We have partnered with our local high school and their construction technology program to build small homes for our neighbors, the students build the framing structure of the home in their state of the art classroom and we hire local contractors finish the home out on the job site! 

   

We are not only making sure our neighbors get back in their homes, but we are making sure our future leaders have an incredible foundation for their future! By hiring local contractors to complete the builds we are keeping funding local and supporting our community! 


Our PROJECTS are where we are making the greatest impact in our community.

Each of our neighbors have a different story, but all of their stories begin with a storm that destroyed their home, small businesses and farms. We have met the needs of 302 of our neighbors with 29 of those being a full rebuild or remodel. Check out our PROJECTS page to see their stories and photos of their progress!  We still have 25 full rebuild requests on our list! 

 



Join us in helping our Neighbors of Yancey & Mitchell Counties. We are rebuilding homes, businesses, farms, workshops and art studios after the storm that came to destroy us has in fact pushed us to stand together to get everyone home! 

         Donate

You have the power to make a real difference.

Every dollar, every piece of material and supplies, every tool and every single prayer helps us rebuild our community. The needs are still urgent. Your generosity will directly impact the lives of those who are struggling to rebuild after this devastating disaster. 


One of the ways that we raise money to fund our projects is by sharing our story and selling branded merchandise.   OUR STORE 

A Million Miracles, Life after Hurricane Helene was written to capture the first year of our story, what we experienced, what we did to make sure our neighbors had the supplies they needed and how we evolved into building homes for our neighbors. This is book is a powerful reminder of the strength of community, the determination of neighbors and how even in complete chaos and devastation we would witness    A Million Miracles.

Our facility in Burnsville NC is the hub of our operations!

In August 2026 Rebuilding Hollers Foundation moved into a 6,000 sqft warehouse that allows us to offer our neighbors building supplies and home goods for their rebuilds! Donors can donate in-kind donations that go straight to our neighbors in need. We are so thankful for our partnership with GOOD360 & Purple Heart Homes that keeps our shelves stocked with the supplies that our neighbors need! Everything in our store is free to our neighbors that had loss during the storm. The only thing that we sell is our branded merchandise that help us raise money to pay our overhead and hire local contractors to complete our projects!
