Convoy of Hope has already served thousands of families across the Southeast in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Distributions continue in Florida, and distributions will begin today in Asheville, North Carolina. Multiple truckloads carrying immediate relief supplies have been dispatched from Convoy's World Distribution Center, and supplies have been delivered in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region near Perry, Florida, with 140 mph winds before roaring through Georgia as a strong tropical storm. Helene is the first known Category 4 storm to hit Florida's Big Bend region since records began in 1851. Nearly 4 million people are without power in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Virginia. Even as a tropical storm, Helene is still producing record rainfall in parts of the Southeast, resulting in dangerous flash flooding.
Convoy of Hope is en route to the impact zone today, where teams will assess damage and begin meeting the needs of survivors. As residents return to their homes, the level of damage and the long road to recovery can be frightening. Many people have lost everything - their homes, businesses, livelihoods. That is why Convoy of Hope is there - to offer assurance that they aren't in this alone. To help Convoy bring hope to those left devastated by Hurricane Helene, donate today.
