LOS ANGELES, October 17, 2024 – In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, Premiere Networks-syndicated personality Granger Smith teamed up with HopeFound.org to deliver essential resources to some of the hardest-hit areas. The group drove a semi-truck full of supplies to Knoxville, Tenn., on Monday, October 14, where they were divided between 10 4x4 trucks that were able to reach remote areas of Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina this week. 

Smith continues to host After MidNite with Granger Smith and Mornings with Granger on iHeartCountry from the road this week, offering a first-hand account of the ongoing relief efforts to encourage donations and volunteer support. Smith made his way with a team into Asheville, N.C., where he stopped to visit with Eddie Fox (pictured) at 99.9 Kiss Country and share the efforts of the mission. 

Smith’s River Kelly Fund is currently accepting donations that will play a crucial role in aiding these affected communities. Visit https://www.riverkellyfund.org/ for more information or to make a donation.
