Description
East Tennessee Foundation administers the Neighbor to Neighbor Disaster Relief Fund to support communities facing devastating impacts from Hurricane Helene. The fund is exclusively used to support nonprofits and agencies helping with disaster response, relief, and long-term recovery. It has supported organizations addressing both urgent community needs and sustained recovery efforts across 14 East Tennessee counties.
As communities shift from immediate relief toward long-term recovery, the Foundation is supporting local Long-Term Recovery Groups. These groups work directly with individuals and families to identify unmet needs and coordinate recovery. The fund continues to accept donations to sustain recovery work and prepare for future needs as part of the Foundation’s strategy for the long-term betterment of East Tennessee.
