Hurricane Helene Relief Launched with Over $5 Million of Emergency Supplies in 5 States
CityServe International, in partnership with Spokes of Hope, 180 Disaster Relief and Wings of the Spirit, launches a $5 million relief initiative in response to Hurricane Helene's path of destruction across 5 states: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Truckloads filled with water, food, clothes and emergency relief supplies will be deployed as soon as roads are cleared and accessible.
While officials say it may take weeks to fully assess the hurricane's devastation, it is now considered the most powerful storm to ever strike Florida's Big Bend region. When it made landfall late Thursday as a monster Category 4 storm, many residents were still reeling from Hurricane Debbie, which struck the area in early August.
"Whenever a storm of this magnitude hits," says CityServe co-founder and CEO Dave Donaldson, "we know we're on the clock right away. People are in desperate need of help right away, so it's critical to get relief out to them immediately."
CityServe International leaders are available to comment on the emergency relief operations now getting underway, as well as how the hurricane's aftermath is affecting the local communities they serve.
