As healing begins across Asheville, one image stands out: the Samaritan’s Purse construction trailer parked on Wood Ave, and just beyond it—a home they are rebuilding, rising from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
.
This modest scene embodies a powerful truth: Samaritan’s Purse came to Western North Carolina, and they stayed—working in droves to support our community like never before. Volunteers left their homes, traveled hundreds of miles, and rolled up their sleeves to help our neighbors rebuild—not just houses, but lives.
.
📅 When and how did their response begin?

Days after the devastating floods of September 25–27, 2024, Samaritan’s Purse activated their Hurricane Helene Rebuild Program, mobilizing from their Boone, NC headquarters into storm-torn communities across Asheville and East Tennessee.

🌍 A legacy of hope since 1970

Founded by Bob Pierce with a bold mission—to meet the needs of people suffering in crisis—the ministry launched in 1970 and has been guided by the Biblical principle of the Good Samaritan ever since. Under the leadership of Franklin Graham since the late 1970s, the organization has grown to deliver aid in over 100 countries, setting up field hospitals, emergency relief, medical missions, and long‑term recovery efforts around the globe.
