Rutherford County, North Carolina, is home to the wonderful communities of Chimney Rock, Forest City, Lake Lure, and Rutherfordton (Ruffton). In the wake of Hurricane Helene, much of the county is reeling and its people need our help.

Forest City and Rutherfordton are both open for business, but you can still help Chimney Rock and Lake Lure from afar via donations or gift card purchases. In this guide, we’ve compiled as many organizations and businesses as we can find.
