Hey yall!

If your business was directly impacted by Hurricane Helene, Appalachian Community Capital is releasing grant money to help!

Small businesses can use the grants to cover expenses related to recovery and reopening in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Eligible uses include repair and replacement of physical damage, environmental cleanup, payment of business-related rents or mortgages, employee retention and hiring, and more.

You can learn more about those grants here!
