Hurricane Helene Relief: Put your faith into action
Please support hurricane relief efforts.
On Thursday, September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region as a category 4 hurricane. The deadly storm moved north through these states:
- Florida
- Georgia
- Tennessee
- South Carolina
- North Carolina
Helene spawned numerous tornadoes and catastrophic flooding. At the time of this writing (Monday, October 7), well over 100 people have died as a result of the mudslides, tornadoes, flooding and power outages caused by the storm. The storm has displaced thousands and many have left the area to find support and lodging.
Hurricane Relief Fund
Episcopal Relief & Development is in close contact with the affected dioceses as they assess their communities’ needs. Please pray for the people in the wake of Helene. If you can, rush a donation to our Hurricane Relief Fund today. Your contribution will meet urgent needs by providing critical supplies such as food, water and other basics, and will help provide long-term assistance as needed.
Episcopal Relief & Development
We provide emergency and long-term support for those who are impacted, wherever they are, so they can make full and sustained recoveries – as well as resources and training to help people prepare for the next disaster.
Episcopal Relief & Development partners with faith and community organizations to advance lasting change in communities affected by injustice, poverty, disaster and climate change. Inspired by our faith, we focus on four interconnected priorities:
- Nurturing the potential of caregivers and young children
- Reducing violence against women and girls
- Strengthening communities’ resilience to climate change
- Facilitating humanitarian response to disasters

Our writers and readers come from numerous and varied backgrounds, and the resources we provide are used in small house churches, sprawling cathedrals, and everything between.
Church of the Redeemer
Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
