Background

Almost two years after Hurricane Helene, Spokes Of Hope SC is continuing to work on construction and in the areas surrounding Chimney Rock, where the rebuilding of roads, infrastructure, homes, and businesses.

This fall, we will be working once more in the Western North Carolina area. Our team will be stationed at Spokes of Hope’s Gerton location, which an RoR team helped to clear in December of 2025. Our work will probably revolve around the rebuilding projects that are currently underway in the Chimney Rock area and the areas along the river south of Asheville.
