Delivering hope: Hurricanes Helene and Milton disaster relief
Two consecutive hurricanes have battered the Southeastern U.S., leaving widespread devastation in their wakes. Hurricane Helene, which made landfall on September 26, 2024, in Florida’s Big Bend region, was followed by Hurricane Milton just weeks later on October 9, striking Florida’s west coast near Siesta Key as a Category 3 storm.
These back-to-back disasters have severely impacted communities across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and beyond, with lives upended and homes and infrastructure destroyed. Relief and recovery efforts are now underway.

Through partnerships with local churches, we’ve been delivering vital supplies such as clean water, generators, diapers, personal care items, and more, ensuring that people in hard-hit areas can access the vital relief they need. Our commitment to supporting these communities in both immediate recovery and long-term rebuilding is unwavering.
