Groundbreaking in Avery County
Eric Church and Chief Cares have officially broken ground on Blue Haven, our first mid- to long-term housing community for families impacted by Hurricane Helene. Located in the heart of Avery County, this new development is part of our Blueprint for the Blue Ridge—focused on helping families stay rooted while rebuilding their lives.
“Darkest Hour”
To provide immediate relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene while also providing ongoing funds to support a more resilient future for North Carolina, Eric Church announced he is signing over all of his publishing royalties for his new song to the people of North Carolina. The song, Church’s first new solo release in over three years, is titled “Darkest Hour” and is now available everywhere.

A record-breaking crowd of 82,193 came together for the five-hour concert, showing immense support for those affected by the storm.
