Avery County is home to Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain, but also the wonderful communities of Newland, Linville, and more. Multiple towns in the county were devastated by Hurricane Helene, and its people need everyoneโ€™s help.

One way to help from afar is to support the people and businesses there via donations, gift card purchases, or to peruse their online shops (as long as they’re shipping).

In this guide, weโ€™ve compiled as many of them as we can find and vet, starting with local community organizations.
