How to Help Hurricane Helene Relief and Recovery Efforts
Hurricane Helene made landfall last week as a category 4 hurricane, bringing high winds, devastating flooding and tornados to communities throughout Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee.
In response, NAHB is working closely with state and local home builder associations across the southeast to meet the needs of members and their communities who are affected by the storm and to provide resources to help them rebuild.
NAHB encourages those looking to support the building industry’s disaster relief efforts after Hurricane Helene to consider donating to the following funds:
North Carolina
The North Carolina Home Builders Association’s disaster relief fund has been established to support members, HBAs and communities impacted by natural disasters. All donations collected will be used for the Hurricane Helene relief effort, ensuring that every dollar helps those in need.
To contribute to this important effort, the NCHBA Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief Fund is accepting donations. The North Carolina Home Builders Association is currently matching all donations up to $100,000.
Florida
The Florida Home Builders Foundation has established a disaster relief designated fund to provide assistance and support to the communities hardest hit by Hurricane Helene. Individuals, businesses, members and friends of the industry are encouraged to make contributions to help defray the cost of recovery.
The Florida Home Builders Foundation is currently accepting donations. Any donor that gives more than $100 will receive a special edition Florida Home Builders Foundation Disaster Response Team hat.
In addition, the American Red Cross and the veteran-led disaster response non-profit Team Rubicon are also accepting donations to support their life-saving response efforts to all those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Georgia
The Home Builders of Greater Aiken Augusta Region has established their Builders Community Fund through their community non-profit partner, The Community Foundation for the Central Savannah River Area. All donations will go toward buying supplies and helping with Hurricane Helene response efforts in Aiken, Edgefield, and throughout Georgia. Make a donation. In addition, the HBA is collecting urgent need items to distribute to the community. View the association’s Amazon wishlist to contribute.
