Amish Community Takes Charge In Rebuilding North Carolina Homes After Hurricane Helene

In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastation across the Southeast, the Amish community from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has stepped up to provide critical support to families in North Carolina who lost everything. With the Biden-Harris regime’s “relief” for these Americans continues to lag, these volunteers have brought immediate, hands-on assistance to the Swannanoa area, building shelters and bringing hope to those affected.

Each week, 57 Amish volunteers arrive by bus from Lancaster, prepared to spend Monday through Friday constructing tiny homes for families left homeless by the flooding. At the end of each week, the group returns home, and a fresh team arrives to continue the work. Their tireless dedication has ensured a steady flow of aid to the residents of Swannanoa.

The Amish volunteers are not only bringing their skills but are also entirely self-sufficient. Living in tents and using their own supplies, they rely on the land and community donations for food and basic needs. Their project, known as “Cabins for Christ,” is intended to give displaced families a safe place to stay while they work to rebuild their lives.

For locals, the Amish presence has been a blessing. While waiting on government aid, Swannanoa residents have found hope in the kindness and commitment of the Amish. Many are inspired by the volunteers’ resilience and selflessness, with one local remarking that the Amish seem to be “the true spirit of America.”

The Amish make it clear they ask for nothing in return. Rooted in their faith, they view this work as part of their duty to help those in need. They ask only to be allowed to do their work without outside assistance or recognition.

As the Amish continue to provide shelter and support, many North Carolinians are grateful for their efforts. These volunteers have shown that, even in times of great hardship, there are those willing to help without asking for anything in return.
