Eric Church Is Helping Hurricane Helene Victims A Second Time
Eric Church is once again showing his heart to help those in need!
The North Carolina-native and his team have come up with a plan to assist victims of Hurricane Helene.
Church has purchased two additional properties in his home state to help those displaced from their home get back into a brand new neighborhood.
“So we really came up with a novel idea of building permanent housing, not temporary. And not only allowing them to live there for a period of time cost free, we call it Blueprint For the Blue Ridge, the whole key is, we want to give them a path to ownership for that home. So a lot of these people are people that could have never maybe owned a home in their life because of their financial situation, but now, with our help, and with the people who gave help, you can change that entire family in a generational way. Not just theirs, but their kids,” Church said.
“So for those 45 families, the idea would be, they’ll end up owning those homes. We just closed on two other properties, we’re doing two other properties. We’ll end up doing about, as of right now, about 200 homes. The best thing is, as I looked around the country, nobody has done this, which is shocking by the way. That in the United States of America, this is not done, but it wasn’t done during Katrina, it wasn’t done during any other disaster we’ve had.”
In October 2024, Church and Luke Combs hosted their Concert For Carolina benefit show, which ended up raising over $24.5 million for residents in western North Carolina impacted by the deadly hurricane.
The two artists split the money for their own causes, with Church using his portion towards his “Chief Cares Foundation,” to purchase land for a new community of homes to be built.
Church explained that he wanted the money to “change the trajectory” of the lives of those who had lost everything.
“I asked about housing, and nobody had an answer for me on housing,” Church said.
The singer said that is when he had the idea to build small communities with permanent housing where people could be with their neighbors and have that chance to eventually purchase the home.
Concert For A Cause – A Night To Remember!
More than 82,000 people gathered for the 5 hour-long benefit event held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, Charlotte Stories reported at the time. The concert was also live-streamed for free to impacted areas, and a number of communities came together to watch and witness the heartwarming night.
Scotty McCreery also shared a video of himself performing “Carolina To Me” at the benefit concert with a caption that read, “I love you, North Carolina.”
Keith Urban wrote, “When Eric or Luke call I say yes !! A huge shoutout to @lukecombs, @ericchurchmusic, and everyone involved in making @concertforcarolina a phenomenal success . Over $24.5 million raised (and counting !!) 💪”
