Through his nonprofit organization Chief Cares, Eric Church plans to build 100 homes for hurricane victims, beginning in Avery County. In addition to addressing the issue of shelter, Church’s endeavors will help create jobs for local people. He also hopes to help rebuild schools and support local businesses as they recover from the devastation caused by Helene. Church has also signed over all publishing royalties from his latest release, “Darkest Hour”, to the people of North Carolina. At the same time, Luke Combs and his team are working in conjunction with North Carolina-based relief efforts. They are supporting Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.
