In response to the catastrophic flooding, landslides, and widespread destruction in Western North Carolina from Hurricane Helene, the SECU Foundation Board of Directors approved a $3.75 million disaster relief package to assist communities affected. Funding will be awarded to five organizations that have operations underway to immediately provide water, food, supplies, shelter, and other emergency services to those in need. Grantees include: 

These funds are designated as general purpose to give the organizations the maximum flexibility to serve their communities.

“The impacts of Hurricane Helene will be felt for a long time and the needs of those affected are many,” said SECU Foundation Board Chair Chris Ayers. “The Foundation grants will provide some much-needed relief to help address the increased demand for services as these organizations respond to community needs. We are grateful for the unwavering commitment of these non-profits and their volunteers.”

“The devastation that Hurricane Helene brought to our Western North Carolina family, friends, and neighbors is tremendous,” said SECU Foundation Executive Director Jama Campbell. “North Carolina faces unbelievable challenges, and we need each other now more than ever. Our Foundation will continue to monitor relief efforts and help our communities on this long path of recovery.”
