Hey yall!

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

Grants up to $25,000 are available to eligible small businesses located in Western North Carolina.

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!

Betterhelp is FREE for us in the affected area of Hurricane Helene, if you go to betterhelp.com/voucher with the code hurricane-helene-support. You have to go to betterhelp.com/voucher to be able to use the voucher for three months of free visits (one visit a week)

Just saw this come through my email and wanted to pass this along!
