HopeMill Winter Gala to help Hurricane Helene victims

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The community is coming together for a night of compassion, excitement, and generosity to aid families impacted by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina. On Dec. 14 from 6 to 10 p.m., Hillside Farms in Lincolnton will host an evening dedicated to providing relief and hope for those who need it most.
HopeMill is a nonprofit organization that started right after Hurricane Helene. They have continued their efforts well after the storm hit communities in western North Carolina.
The group provides homes, vehicles, and financial assistance for essential bills.
All proceeds raised during the Winter Gala will directly benefit families whose lives were disrupted by the devastating hurricane.
