Helene Relief
The Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina shared their Resource Page and reccomendations for where to donate. We are praying for the communities affected by Hurricane Helene.
Financial Donations
Having financial resources to respond is one of the most critical needs. Today, the best way to help is to provide responding agencies with the financial resources they need. We encourage donations to:
- Affected dioceses: Funds donated directly to affected dioceses will be used at the discretion of that diocese’s leadership.
- Diocese of Western NC: Select “Partners in Mission” from the drop-down menu, and add “Hurricane Helene” in the memo box.
- Diocese of East Tennessee: Give to the 2024 Flooding Relief fund as directed on the page.
- Diocese of Georgia: To direct your funds toward hurricane relief for the Diocese of Georgia, you can give to the Bishop’s Fund; the money raised in the Bishop’s Fund will go directly to disaster relief in the diocese. Alternatively, you can text “EDOG Relief” to 73256 to give using your mobile device. This number will never send unsolicited texts to you. To cancel further messages, text STOP. If you need assistance with text giving, text HELP. Standard text message and data rates may apply.
- Diocese of Florida: Click the button to “Make a Gift” and select “Other” from the dropdown menu and include “Hurricane Helene” in the memo line.
- Diocese of Southwest Florida: Simply give to the “Hurricane Helene Relief Fund.”
- Episcopal Relief & Development: The disaster response team is in contact with the dioceses in all affected areas. Funds collected will be used for long-term relief efforts as well as emergency grants, which are for churches in affected areas that are in a position to respond to needs in their local community. “Your gift will provide our partners on the ground with critical supplies, such as food and water, pastoral care and other urgent needs. You’ll also help us assist with the long-term efforts needed to rebuild and heal.” Donate
- American Red Cross: Working with officials and community partners, almost 1,400 Red Cross disaster workers are focused on providing shelter, food and comfort to thousands with more help on the way. In addition, the Red Cross has deployed more than 45 emergency response vehicles to get help to where needed and about two dozen more are enroute. Where it is safe to do so, Red Cross disaster responders are driving these vehicles throughout affected communities, assessing the damage and distributing meals and relief supplies.” Read more | Read about the American Red Cross response in North Carolina | Donate
