Hurricane Donations

Gatlinburg is incredibly fortunate to be unaffected by the recent impacts of Hurricane Helene and remains fully open and accessible to visitors. 

However, our hearts go out to counties to the northeast, including Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Johnson, Unicoi and Washington Counties, as well as regions of Western North Carolina which have been declared disaster areas in need of support. Our Smoky Mountain community is known for taking care of each other, and that volunteer spirit and hospitality rings true, now more than ever.

If you are planning to visit Gatlinburg in the coming weeks and are interested in assisting in the relief effort, you can do so by donating items at the below location:
