As the one-year mark of Hurricane Helene approaches, recovery efforts in Western North Carolina are a continued priority across the region. Recently over 100 Truist volunteers served alongside our partners at @[City Year](https://www.linkedin.com/company/city-year/)’s Care Force and @[MountainTrue](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mountaintrue/) to clear debris from the Swannanoa River near Asheville. These efforts helped to restore part of the community that continues to feel the devastating impacts of Helene. Thank you to our incredible teammates who continue to lead with care and bring our purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities to life.
