HURRICANE HELENE & MILTON DONATIONS
As communities affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton continue to recover from the devastation, there is an urgent need for water, food, and essential supplies. We’re taking donations to help provide relief to those impacted by the storm, especially those still without access to clean water or basic necessities.
Your generosity will help families in need get through this challenging time.
📦 How You Can Help:
We are collecting financial donations to support the purchase and delivery of supplies in Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina. We have contacts in each state that we will be coordinating directly with.
Thank you for your support in helping us provide relief to those in desperate need during this difficult time.
