Southern Baptists are responding to Hurricane Helene.

Your gift to Send Relief will provide food, water, debris removal, temporary roofing, and more to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene.

We are beginning to see the full scope of devastation from Hurricane Helene as the waters recede. At least 90 deaths have been confirmed, and around two million people are without power. The impact is widespread across multiple states in the Southeast. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR) teams are rapidly deploying to serve these communities. Your gifts to Send Relief enable them to provide food, water, debris removal, and more.

Southern Baptists are at work in states across the Southeast.

Florida: Florida SBDR is assessing needs over a widespread area of impact. Recovery and feeding sites are active in Perry and Live Oak, Florida, and local teams are doing chainsaw work.

Georgia: At least six feeding sites have been established in the state. We anticipate chainsaw, flood recovery, and tarping responses at our recovery sites in Valdosta, Douglas, Statesboro, and Augusta. Send Relief's Valdosta ministry center sustained some damage to its property but is continuing to serve the community.

North Carolina: Western North Carolina has experienced historic damage and flooding, and the impact in the region is devastating. At least eight recovery sites and three feeding sites have been established through North Carolina SBDR. Please pray for volunteer teams as they access hard-to-reach areas in the mountainous region.

Tennessee: East Tennessee experienced wind damage and flooding. Tennessee SBDR is assessing damage where there has been significant flooding, and we anticipate establishing a feeding site in Johnson City, Tennessee.

South Carolina and Virginia: SBDR teams are assessing needs and setting up feeding and recovery sites as needed.
