When Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm, the Global Empowerment Mission team was already in North Florida, assessing the hardest-hit areas before daylight. From our basecamp in Perry, Florida, we've served over 4,000 residents through drive-thru distributions, reaching Keaton Beach, Dekle Beach, Dark Island, Steinhatchee, and Sarasota. In Asheville, North Carolina, we delivered the first semi-truck of aid on Saturday, serving 2,000 residents in just four hours. Meanwhile, over 500 volunteers at our headquarters in Doral, South Florida, continued packing emergency family boxes, preparing more than 50 pallets of supplies. A special thank you to our friends at City National Bank of Florida, Kids Around The Corner, Neighbors 4 Neighbors, Florida Blue, QTS Data Centers, Andrea H. Viejo, MPA, and other groups for answering our call for volunteers. Learn more about GEM’s Hurricane Helene response and how you can help here: https://lnkd.in/gnfD7ZSP
