As Hurricane Helene brings devastating, life-threatening conditions to communities across the Southeast, Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), the official domestic relief agency of the Catholic Church in the U.S., has launched a dedicated disaster relief donation campaign. All funds raised will provide critical relief — including shelter, food, and other humanitarian aid — to members of their communities. Gifts can also be made by texting “Hurricane” to 20406.
Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, and the storm continues to wreak havoc as it moves north. Dangerously powerful winds and record storm surges have driven thousands from their homes, and millions have lost power. Tragically, at least twenty-two people have died.
