Hurricane Helene Recovery Efforts Are Underway
How You Can Help
Our thoughts go out to all impacted by last week’s devastating storms caused by Hurricane Helene in southwest Virginia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. The VBA has been in touch with our peers in those two states as well as bankers in southwest Virginia to see what type of assistance is needed. You can read a press release shared by the community banks of Southwest Virginia here.
Please see below for a list of ways you can support the recovery efforts.
