Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic damage spans hundreds of miles and has uprooted lives and communities forever. The American Red Cross has launched a massive response to ensure no one faces this challenging time alone.
More than 1,700 Red Cross disaster responders are working around the clock with our partners to get help to those in need. Right now, our focus is on providing safe shelter, meals, emotional support and relief supplies for people facing unimaginable destruction across spanning hundreds of miles from Florida to Tennessee, across Georgia and the hard hit areas of the Carolinas.
People affected by Hurricane Helene need urgent help now, and we can’t do this alone. You can help by making a financial donation by visiting here.
