Hurricane Helene has brought devastation across multiple states, with a rising death toll of nearly 100 people and hundreds more missing across six states. Millions are without power from Florida to Ohio. The storm made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region on Thursday night as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing destructive winds and heavy rainfall. Even after weakening into a post-tropical cyclone, Helene continued to cause "catastrophic, historic" flooding in the southern Appalachian region according to news reports.
I urge all Episcopalians in the Diocese of Hawai’i to consider making a donation through the Episcopal Relief and Development program to support those impacted by the storm. As we received much following the Maui fires, we too must give to those who need our help..
Visit the Episcopal Relief & Development website HERE to make a donation today.
