It has been another terrible season for natural disasters. Helene struck coastal and mountainous communities in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Virginia. The storm brought extensive damage and a death toll of more than 230 people. Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Milton barreled into Florida bringing destructive rain, wind, and storm surges.

If your congregation or community has been impacted by either of these storms, please use this link to apply for a grant from the UUA’s Disaster Relief Fund. Your community of faith is with you in this time. We offer you our care and are organizing to assist you with the material support you need. We can’t do it all, but we are here with you as part of a committed network of care.
