Damage from a fallen tree during the remnants of Hurricane Helene is shown on Friday, Oct. 4, 2024, in the Oak Forest neighborhood of Asheville, N.C. // Associated Press  New York, NY – October 4, 2024 – In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Thursday, September 26, 2024, in Florida's Big Bend region, the Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society is providing crucial financial support for relief efforts. The storm left widespread devastation across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and beyond, with the death toll rising to 227 and a significant number of people still unaccounted for.   In response to the urgent need for assistance, National Philoptochos has committed $25,000 to International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) and an additional $25,000 to Samaritan's Purse to support their ongoing recovery efforts. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in helping communities rebuild and heal from this tragedy.
