Welcome to Nolachucky Disaster Relief

We're glad you're here.

“And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.” -Nehemiah 2:18

More than 1,500 families in East Tennessee were devastated by the floods in late September 2024, caused by Hurricane Helene. The homes of over 500 families were destroyed. Tennessee Baptists have committed to rebuilding at least 40 of these homes and repair as many others as possible working in collaboration with Appalachian Service Project. If you or your church is interested in helping in some way, please click the button below to see the options and to complete the appropriate forms.
