Hurricane Helene made landfall late on September 26 as a Category 4 hurricane—the strongest on record to hit Florida's Big Bend region. Since then, Helene has left a trail of destruction all along the southeast. Torrential rain has led to deadly flooding and mudslides, leaving millions of Americans without power. President Biden has issued emergency declarations for Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. No matter how big or small, every donation to the Hurricane Relief Fund provides urgent support to affected families and communities, helping them afford temporary housing, food, essential supplies, and care for loved ones.
