Eric Church is buying land in North Carolina for Hurricane Helene victims.  The North Carolina native purchased property outside of Newland in support of his rebuilding efforts.  Plans are being drawn to build 40 homes on the plot along with a community center and a walking trail. Last fall, Hurricane Helene ravaged much of the southeast, claiming lives and displacing many from their homes. People in states like Florida, Georgia and South Carolina were impacted; Church has concentrated his efforts on hard-hit North Carolina, which is his home state.
