Samaritan's Purse is responding to Hurricane Helene in six locations across North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Every day, teams of volunteers are serving families in need by mudding out flooded homes, clearing debris, removing downed trees, and reminding them that they are not alone. In western North Carolina, the Christian relief organization also supported local healthcare systems by deploying emergency field hospital units with triage support, oxygen, and medicine as well as setting up three water filtration units in areas where the water pipeline network was destroyed. Samaritan’s Purse also coordinated the largest civilian airlift operation in U.S. history with more than 350 airlifts delivering critical supplies to remote communities across 17 counties in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Unprecedented numbers of Samaritan’s Purse volunteers continue to assist homeowners with damage from Helene, reminding them of God’s love in this difficult time.
