Hurricane Helene Relief

Hurricane Helene Relief

Our thoughts are with those affected by the historic flooding from Hurricane Helene, and we understand as Tennessee Volunteers the call to serve our neighbors. The university's Jones Center for Leadership and Service is coordinating ways to contribute to relief efforts, including trusted organizations accepting monetary donations.

The Tennessee football team will wear a helmet decal to honor those impacted, and Tennessee Athletics will be using QR codes at athletics events to publicize ways to donate to the following organizations:

East Tennessee Foundation, which has set up a fund for monetary donations for impacted counties in East Tennessee.
United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, which provides drinking water and mobile distribution to those in rural areas as well as medical resources.
One SC Fund, which distributes 99% of donations to nonprofits providing disaster relief in South Carolina.

Public Safety is regularly monitoring Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) requests and providing assistance and resources as appropriate. Tennessee Athletics and the University will continue to pursue opportunities to assist the state and our region to address the needs of impacted communities.
