Key Takeaways
  • NECHAMA staff left this morning from Minnesota en route to Atlanta ahead of a deployment into the Carolinas.
  • There are thousands of families that need help.

NECHAMA staff left this morning from Minnesota en route to Atlanta ahead of a deployment into the Carolinas. We will help homeowners impacted by the damaging floods caused by Hurricane Florence.

The damage is widespread, with more destruction still to come, from rivers that will flood after a staggering amount of rain over the last few days.

For every $1,500 raised we are able to assist one homeowner. There are thousands of families that need help. Our work is funded entirely by the generous gifts of our donors and supporters, YOU! Please donate today to our response, and bring comfort and hope to those in need.

Thank you.
