This month, hurricane survivors impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton received critical support thanks to the generosity of faith-based partners, community organizations, and private donors who stepped in when needs went beyond what grant funding alone could cover.
We are deeply grateful to Trinity United Methodist Church, whose compassion showed up in a big way through food donations valued at approximately $2,200, along with $147.99 in dog food assistance, making sure families and their pets had access to essential nutrition during recovery. Grace Family Church provided $375 in gift cards, giving survivors the flexibility to purchase groceries and household necessities as needs arose.
Survivors were also supported through vital utility assistance. LIHEAP provided $689.70, and a private donor contributed $711 toward utility bills, helping households remain safely housed and avoid service disruptions during an already stressful time.
Transportation needs were met thanks to Bikes 4 Christ, which donated a bicycle valued at $139, increasing access to employment, appointments, and essential services.
Additional generosity poured in through coordinated donations of clothing, sneakers, blankets, food, and gift cards totaling over $565, meeting immediate needs for warmth, nourishment, and dignity. We are especially thankful for D-Group Bible Study, which contributed clothing, food, gift cards, and household items to support families in recovery.
During the holiday season, donors also helped bring joy and normalcy to children by providing Christmas toy assistance for two families valued at $350, a meaningful reminder that they were not forgotten.
To every donor and partner: thank you for showing up, giving generously, and standing with hurricane survivors during one of the hardest seasons of their lives. Your kindness made a real, tangible difference.
