In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, NASCAR and Lowe's have joined forces to deliver 100 small homes to families in need in North Carolina. This initiative is part of a larger $12 million recovery effort to provide temporary housing solutions.
Meanwhile, weather forecasters are tracking the potential for several inches of rain in the same Helene-hit areas of North Carolina over the weekend. The last time I checked on the status of the Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina , a spokesperson for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) apologized for the agency failing to deliver dozens of travel trailers and manufactured homes.
The road to recovery has been long and difficult, with many families still struggling to rebuild their lives. The economic damage has been devastating, with losses totaling nearly $60 billion. This situation had been most keenly felt in western North Carolina, where vital industries like tourism and agriculture suffered significantly. To address these challenges, NASCAR and Lowe’s have launched a housing initiative, delivering 100 small homes to help affected families. The final batch of these homes, built in Charlotte, was sent out in time for Christmas. This project is part of a broader $12 million recovery effort rolled out to provide temporary housing solutions. Lowe’s contributed significantly by supplying the necessary materials, while skilled local craftsmen took on the task of constructing and delivering the homes. Recovery from Hurricane Helene has necessitated a comprehensive approach, with strong community involvement now evident. The project has engaged skilled workers who were eager to contribute to such a meaningful cause, but faced logistical challenges. According to Kelly of Kelly McArdle Construction, “everyone else in Charlotte wanted to work, but couldn’t go out there and take a day.”In the past 7 days alone, they have donated and delivered over 100 tiny homes for victims of Hurricane Helene for Christmas!Lowe’s worked to get the homes built, and then NASCAR stepped up by using their haulers to take them the rest of the way to families in nee
