How to help tropical storm survivors in Western North Carolina

October 17, 2024 at 11:35 a.m.


Electricity, drinkable water, food, medical care and cellphone service are in critically short supply in Western North Carolina in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Helene. Monetary donations are the fastest, most flexible and most effective way to support emergency relief efforts – local responders on the ground can use the funds to help people with immediate as well as long-term needs. Give securely online: www.ccdoc.org/helenerelief.

How to help those impacted throughout the wider southeast region

In late September, Hurricane Helene tore through communities in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. It left a devastating toll in its wake, with more than 200 dead and hundreds still missing. The storm washed away homes and highways and decimated power and water systems. Catholic Charities agencies moved into action to provide immediate disaster relief with necessities such as water, food and shelter. They will stand by their communities through the long-term recovery.

CCUSA, as the official domestic disaster relief agency of the Catholic Church in the United States, has launched a dedicated Helene disaster relief campaign. All donations received for disaster aid will be allocated to the Catholic Charities agencies providing critical relief – including shelter, food and other humanitarian aid – to those most in need.

Detailed updates on how Catholic Charities is helping each of the affected regions is available on its website. To learn more or to make a donation to this effort, visit: https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/what-we-do/disaster-relief/hurricane-helene-response/
