There are many ways to help communities affected by Hurricane Helene. A great way is to support businesses and towns who are open for business. Many are even giving back through local aid and assistance. We ?? this special interest piece by WKRN News 2 and Mark Kelly! #hurriccanehelene #openforbusiness #northeasttennessee #supportlocal https://lnkd.in/eP5jfMWX

HOW TO GET HERE: As we welcome you to Northeast Tennessee, please know that our mountain towns and businesses are OPEN and ready to see you. Let's show some love! ?? Our businesses have been hit hard by Hurricane Helene, but they're fighting back. ?? Every purchase, big or small, helps. So, take the backroads, support our neighbors, and enjoy all that Northeast Tennessee has to offer. Use caution, patience, and all your love! ??https://lnkd.in/g_ABFGBv #northeasttennessee #comehellorhighwater #shoplocal #openforbusiness #backroads #hurricanehelene #tnsoundsperfect

We need local economies to stay strong. Those missed by the devastation of Helene will be crucial for the recovery efforts of their effected neighbors. Giving is always encouraged, but another way to help is even more enjoyable: VISIT The Creeper Trail is open so Abingdon, VA is a wonderful place to start. Please explore this amazing town, but don't miss the other areas of SWVA and NETN as well. They have so much to offer. You can learn what is open and what isn't from Northeast Tennessee Tourism Association and other local groups.
