Hurricane Helene presents a unique opportunity to rebuild western North Carolina in a more resilient, safer, and healthier way.
Our mission is to strengthen the region’s rebuilding efforts by connecting organizations, supporting effective initiatives, bridging gaps in response efforts, and developing plans to build resilience for the future.
Blue Ridge Collective seeks to support disaster response as a catalyst for rebuilding a more resilient and connected community.
If there’s something needed and it’s not getting done, we’ll see what it takes to make it happen.
We are committed to maximizing the impact of existing efforts by connecting the network and channeling resources to amplify ongoing work.
"The world doesn’t change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who discover they share a common cause and vision of what’s possible."
