Support Our Small Business Community Rebuilding Fund
Donation protected
Hello, all. My name is Katie McWeeney. I am a small business owner and resident of Old Fort, NC, and I am collecting direct relief funds for members of our small business community affected by Hurricane Helene. Specifically, this fund will focus on core businesses that serve the downtown Old Fort area around town hall on Catawba Ave. and Main St. The devastation of our small town is enormous. Many have lost family, homes, and small businesses.
Through this GoFundMe, we can provide $5,000 direct funding to 18 small business owners in Old Fort, NC, needing immediate remediation and relief from damaged property, lost business supplies, equipment, income, and wages.
