As part of the Appalachian Trail community, we at the Notch Hostel are heartbroken to see so many trail towns and beyond devastated by Hurricane Helene. To support relief efforts, our staff have put together this fundraiser for the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund featuring our beloved hostel mascot, Delilah the Notch Dog. Delilah is a Swiss Mountain Dog who was raised at our New Hampshire hostel during the 2016 bubble, loves backpacking, and raids unattended hiker boxes in her spare time.

There is nothing like the Appalachian Trail community. When we face collective hardship, the community joins together so we can all come back AT strong! Thank you for your support.
