western North Carolina11/13/2025 Christmount In late September of 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and moved across Georgia into the Appalachian mountain range. Helene deposited record-breaking amounts of rainfall across Western North Carolina, an area that does not have experience with hurricanes. This historic rainfall caused major flooding, downed trees, and mudslides that wreaked havoc on infrastructure, homes, and waterways.
Christmount Christian Assembly, the national conference center for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), located in Black Mountain, North Carolina experienced extensive damage. Thanks to the hard work of locals and volunteers, repairs are well underway but more help is needed, and recovery efforts are ongoing at Christmount and in the surrounding community. Week of Compassion is working with Christmount and community partners to continue to welcome volunteers for ongoing cleanup and rebuild efforts. Service Learning Weeks in 2026: - June 7 - June 21 - June 28 - July 5 - July 12 - July 19 - July 26 - August 2 Dates for all locations are available by request. -- housing: Christmount Comments are closed.
