Hurricane Florence is on track to wreak havoc across the Carolinas, with landfall expected tonight. Despite the tremendous evacuation efforts, there remains a high potential for fatalities and the total devastation of communities.
Now’s the time to help.
Below is the Community Foundation’s curated list of opportunities to support organizations we know will direct funds quickly and efficiently to local groups working with affected families.
The Foundation for the Carolinas has established a relief fund to support those affected by the unprecedented storm.
