Support Businesses Affected by Hurricane Helene!
Project YES is currently accepting donations to assist businesses in Southwest Virginia who have been affected by Helene. Our goal is to provide for not only short-term needs but long-term support over the coming year as businesses recover from this widespread event. Some businesses may not have been physically affected by the storm but have lost—and will continue to lose—customers and revenue. Others may have had damage that necessitated closing for repairs. Some may need additional business supports in financial reviews, marketing, and/or workforce development.
While the current outpouring of help and resources for our communities has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated, businesses have particular needs that cannot be solved by general assistance. Please join us in supporting them in this recovery process!
