Episcopal Relief & Development is in close contact with affected dioceses as they assess needs in their communities in response to Hurricane Helene: https://www.episcopalrelief.org/
Following Hurricane Helene, Episcopal Relief & Development is working with church leaders within the Episcopal Diocese of Florida, the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia and the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida to support survivors.
With these dioceses, Episcopal Relief & Development is providing gift cards, household items, food, clothing and fuel to families in Florida and Georgia.
These partnerships will help during the critical first week after impact, before additional support becomes available and longer term needs for debris removal, temporary housing, mental health support and other services can begin.
“Our emergency responses are great examples of doing what we can to help people where they currently are,” said Katie Mears, Senior Technical Specialist, Disaster Risk and Resilience, Episcopal Relief & Development. “As the stages of this disaster progress, people’s needs will change and we are prepared to accommodate them.”
Episcopal Relief & Development also continues to support church and community leaders throughout North Carolina, Tennessee and South Carolina as they assess the impact and determine immediate needs.
Please pray for the people affected by Hurricane Helene and consider donating to the Hurricane Relief Fund to support their recovery.
