Hurricane Helene hit North Florida with devastating wind and drenching rain on Sept. 26, leaving a trail of flooding and destruction in Gulf Coast communities and beyond.

Already the deadly storm has claimed more than 200 lives, forced people from their homes, swamped neighborhoods, flooded businesses and left a path of destruction that could affect communities for years to come. We know the power of philanthropy will be needed to help our neighbors to the north bounce back from the storm.
