Supporting Our Communities Impacted by Hurricane Helene
Oct 4, 2024
We’re thankful all our employees are safe and accounted for in the wake of Hurricane Helene. REI is taking action to support our impacted employees and their communities by supporting a multitude of relief organizations in the region, including:
MANNA FoodBank: Feeding communities across Western NC.
BeLoved Asheville: Offering essential aid to those affected.
Feeding the Carolinas️: Supporting food banks across NC & SC.
East Tennessee Foundation: Helping communities build back stronger.
Community Foundation Tampa Bay: Creating lasting impact across Florida.
Virginia Disaster Relief Fund: Assisting recovery efforts across VA.
You can help by supporting these local nonprofits as they work to rebuild their communities.
Our Asheville, NC store is one of the few in town that has power and wi-fi. Our team has been welcoming customers to charge their phones or pick up food and gear.
We’ll continue working to ensure our employees and communities in impacted areas receive the assistance they need in this difficult time.
