Since Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida on Thursday, September 26, 2024, The Salvation Army have been actively aiding survivors and supporting recovery efforts across seven Southern states. The Category 4 storm brought severe storm surges and tides, resulting in extensive flooding and widespread power outages affecting over 770,000 people.
Emergency Disaster liaisons from The Salvation Army were dispatched to State Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. They provided meals and emotional support to those in need.
