Our hearts and thoughts are with all our dedicated colleagues, partners, their families, and the communities affected by tropical storm Helene. 💚

States throughout the Appalachian region are calling for help! You can donate to the Appalachian Helene Response Fund sponsored by the Appalachian Funders Network and Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky here: https://bit.ly/4gONVJG ⬅️

There are so many other organizations and people collecting supplies throughout our region for support. If you are unable to donate money and have supplies on hand please consider donating items such as non-perishable food, bottled water, blankets, and hygiene products—the list goes on. Every little bit helps and makes a significant difference in the lives of those affected. 💧

Let’s come together as a community to support our neighbors in need. 💪
