Where To Give - Tuesday 10/15 Morning Muse

Hurricane Helene ranks as one of the worst natural disasters to ever have hit the Southeast U.S.  And it has devastated Western North Carolina.  And in the last several days, Milton has swept across Florida.  According to reports we have read, most rescue efforts are being led by local and state residents, and a variety of non-profit organizations and church related organizations.

Several of you have asked if we had a list of organizations which you could give to, which are directly involved in restoration efforts in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida.  The following list is not at all exhaustive.  But it does include organizations which are on the ground, making a difference.  You are welcome to use this list or not.

Samaritan’s Purse – You can both give and volunteer through their website, which is www.samaritanspurse.org.

Hearts With Hands – This is a faith-based organization based in Ashville NC.  Find it at www.heartswithhands.org

Mountain Pet Rescue – For those of you who have a heart for pets, this is a pet rescue organization based in Western North Carolina.  You can find them at www.mountainpetrescueavl.org.

Presbyterian Church of America – The PCA is one of several large church organizations with a significant presence in the Southeast.  You can give to their disaster relief efforts through their website at www.pcamna.org.

Southern Baptist Convention – The SBC is another church organization with a strong presence in the Southeast.  In addition, they have had disaster relief teams in place at local churches for decades.  You can give to their disaster relief efforts through their website at www.sendrelief.org.

Assist International – Assist is a non-profit based in California with a worldwide reach.  We know many people involved with Samaritan’s Purse, the SBC and the PCA and have every confidence these organizations are on the ground making a difference.  In the case of Assist, we have had direct involvement with the organization.  We can speak to both the heart and the operational acumen of those involved when it comes to relief efforts. You can give through their website at www.assistinternational.org

That’s it on our end.

Until we see you again, continue to live well and give well.
