WNC Recovery Work Updates

Helene
Recovery 

Hurricane Helene left a trail of devastation across WNC communities, severely impacting families and individuals in its path. The destruction was overwhelming, families are still recovering even today.

As we lift up the victims and their communities in prayer, we recognize that financial assistance is crucial for the recovery efforts underway.  Recovery is expected to take years in most areas.

Consider supporting our work in Barnardsville and other areas of WNC..  
Many in our VerticalLife Church family had the opportunity to serve saw the devastation first hand. We have also seen how the Lord showed up in a mighty way and is even today, working in the lives of individuals in these areas.

There is still work to be done to help families rebuild their lives. We can all do something to help.

As a church, we "adopted" an area in Barnardsville, NC. Since 2024 we were able to help many families in their recovery efforts.  Larry and Josey are one couple we were able to help.  Below is their BEFORE testimony story. TODAY in 2026, they are just about to move into a brand new home provided by donations from generous, compassionate people just like you!

Please take a moment to watch this video of the Barnardsville area and a local family we were blessed to be able to help through the recovery process.
We have identified several local families who have literally
lost everything that we intend to help with rebuilding.

Here are some ways that you can help.
**Please note that all donations are given directly to the people needing it the most.
