Volunteers Build Tiny Homes For Helene Survivors, Offering Hope And Warmth This Christmas

By Kimberly King

    Swannanoa, North Carolina (WLOS) — Helene survivors in Swannanoa are reflecting on gifts of housing. A team of volunteers for weeks have been working on building 12-feet by 16-feet cabins.

The units are insulated and come with a mini-fridge and microwave.

“So far we’ve been able to put 20 people in them,” said Beth Dalton, one of the volunteers spearheading the build.
