Hurricane Helene & Hurricane Milton

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Helene. This powerful storm unleashed devastating floods across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Tragically, the death toll is rising, and countless communities are now facing the daunting reality of long-term recovery and rebuilding.

Hurricane Milton is projected to bring severe winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges, leading to flooding and infrastructure damage.

In times like these, it’s crucial that we come together to support those in need. Local community foundations are working tirelessly to fund relief efforts, providing essential aid to affected families, helping to restore infrastructure, and offering resources for mental health support. Your contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of those who have lost so much.

Please consider making a donation to these organizations, ensuring that help reaches those who need it most. Together, we can help communities heal and rebuild. Thank you for your compassion and support.
