FIND Outdoors Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our people and places are facing significant challenges. Your support is crucial in helping us restore and reopen these vital spaces. 

Here’s how your donation can make a profound impact:

  • Repair and Restoration of Public Lands

Your contribution will directly fund the rebuilding of bridges and boardwalks damaged by flooding, rerouting heavily eroded trails, and clearing debris from our beautiful outdoor areas. These spaces are not just paths and parks; they are the backdrop for family memories, adventures, and connections to nature.

  • Education on Emergency Preparedness

We’re committed to empowering our communities with the knowledge and resources to prepare for future emergencies, ensuring everyone can enjoy the great outdoors safely.

  • Support for Displaced Employees

Many people who care for public lands have been affected by the storm. Your generosity will help provide them with vital support during this challenging time.
