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.
