Category 4 Hurricane Helene left a trail of death and destruction across much of the Southeast. Some neighborhoods were pummeled by powerful winds, while others were left completely underwater. People are trapped, hurting, and hungry. Many have been left homeless. And families are in desperate need of your help—especially in the face of Hurricane Milton!
“It’s been heartbreaking. It’s record-breaking flooding. It hasn’t been this bad since 1916,” shared National Media Liaison Hayley Henson from the heart of devastated Asheville, North Carolina. “There were downed trees, downed power lines. So many people couldn’t get out.”
The Need is Urgent – Your Help is Crucial
After this catastrophic disaster, Operation Blessing is there to put love into action in Asheville and beyond. But we can’t do it without you.
Destroyed infrastructure has left thousands vulnerable without electricity, safe drinking water, and access to food and other vital supplies. People are suffering, but YOUR generosity can be the lifeline that brings them help and hope. Here’s how your gift makes a difference:
- Immediate Relief: Our teams are among the first on the ground providing critical supplies like food, clean water, and cleanup supplies to meet urgent needs.
- God’s Love in Action: Through your support, we’re partnering with local churches to show Christ’s compassion in the darkest moments.
- Long-Term Recovery: When others leave, we continue working. Your gift fuels debris cleanup and home repairs to help families rebuild their lives.
