United Way Charlotte County Disaster Relief Recovery Fund

Hurricane Helene Disaster Recovery


Hurricane Helene has left many families in our community in urgent need of recovery assistance. Now more than ever, we must come together to support our neighbors—especially those who may need extra help. By donating to the United Way of Charlotte County Disaster Recovery Fund, you can make a significant impact. Your contribution will provide critical resources to help those affected rebuild their lives. Let's unite to support our community: United Way Disaster Recovery Fund.

  • FEMA Assistance: Homeowners and renters in Charlotte County who have experienced uninsured damage or losses from Hurricane Helene may qualify for FEMA disaster assistance. To apply, visit DisasterAssistance.gov.
  • If you need help cleaning up damage from Hurricane Helene, please call Crisis Clean Up at (844) 965-1386
