It's been a busy end of summer/start of fall here! One of the projects we were delighted to work on was a story of how things are going for small businesses in Western NC, 1 year after Hurricane Helene. We loved working with Bekah Wallace at Mountain BizWorks and their WNC Strong initiative to raise awareness and funds to continue to support small businesses in their recovery.
If you know WNC then you know how important the fall tourism season is for many businesses! And we lost that season in 2024 and went straight into winter. Without grants (and disaster loans) many businesses would not have made it to 2025. Many have taken on more debt just to clean up, rebuild or move and reopen. Grants are so needed and appreciated by small business owners. It can make all the difference! Keep supporting our local businesses by shopping with them whenever you can! Come visit if you don't live here! WNC is open for business!
