Key Takeaways
  • Hurricane Michael’s devastation extends far beyond Mexico Beach, FL and other areas prominently featured in the media.
  • It has been part of NECHAMA’s mission since day one to make sure these lesser noticed, small-town communities are not lost in the shuffle and that is exactly why we are responding in this area.

Hurricane Michael’s devastation extends far beyond Mexico Beach, FL and other areas prominently featured in the media. Little to nothing is heard about areas like Decatur and Seminole counties in South Georgia that were equally hit by the hurricane. It has been part of NECHAMA’s mission since day one to make sure these lesser noticed, small-town communities are not lost in the shuffle and that is exactly why we are responding in this area. To keep NECHAMA on the ground in Georgia, please donate today.
