Trails to Recovery

Helping Southwest Virginia Rebuild After Helene

Trails to Recovery is dedicated to supporting the people of Southwest Virginia after the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. The storm severely impacted hundreds of residents in Alvarado, Damascus, Green Cove, Konnarock, Taylors Valley, and Whitetop, leaving homes, businesses, and key economic drivers in ruins. The total cost of rebuilding these communities is expected to reach millions of dollars.

Our Focus

100% of your donation will go directly to the following rebuilding efforts:

  • Residential Restoration: Helping families rebuild and restore their homes to ensure safe, stable housing.
  • Business Recovery: Supporting local businesses that are essential to the region’s economy, providing jobs and services.
  • Virginia Creeper Trail Revitalization: Restoring this beloved trail, a major source of tourism and economic activity for the area.

Together, we can bring healing, hope, and love to the people and places most affected by this disaster.
