Hurricane Relief Effort for Helene

United Way Miami and Miami Herald/el Nuevo Herald have activated Operation Helping Hands to assist victims of Helene, a powerful Category 4 storm. Helene made landfall with sustained winds of 140 mph, bringing a historic storm surge and heavy rains that led to catastrophic flooding across multiple regions in the Southeast.

To support and assist affected families with the short and long-term needs created, please make a donation below to Operation Helping Hands.

100% of funds raised through Operation Helping Hands will be used to purchase relief items and services needed during this time of crisis.
