]]> ATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2024—Following the damage from Hurricane Helene in Florida and Georgia, Send Relief, in coordination with Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, is providing relief supplies to serve communities in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas. Mobile kitchens and response sites are being coordinated immediately. Supplies include:

  • Clean drinking water
  • Temporary roofing
  • Flood recovery kits
  • Generators
  • Much-needed meals

After Helene crashed into Florida’s Big Bend region the night of Sept. 26 as a Category 4 storm, Florida residents faced widespread flooding, 140 MPH winds and life-threatening storm surges with water rising as high as 11 feet. The storm quickly moved into Georgia on Friday morning as a Category 2 storm. As of Sept. 27, nearly 1 million people in Georgia remain without power.

Send Relief is coordinating efforts in the Big Bend area of Florida and Valdosta, Ga., where it has a ministry center, and will continue to provide supplies to teams on the ground as they aid relief efforts in the weeks to come. Send Relief is a faith-based relief organization that works across the U.S. and around the world to meet needs and change lives through crisis response and compassionate outreach.
