How You Can Support Those Impacted By Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene ripped through the Florida coast late Thursday night. The Category 4 hurricane tore through the Sunshine State, Georgia, the Carolinas, and parts of Tennessee. In a word, it's been devastating.

Helene made landfall with 140 mph winds, brought heavy rainfall, and caused hundreds of thousands to go without power.

If you're like me, you want to find any way to help those impacted. As the states begin to pick up the pieces of Helene's destruction, relief efforts and funds are being created to help.
