Our hearts go out to all those affected by the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene. Many in our community have deep, personal ties to these beautiful areas and the people that live there. Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte is committed to playing a role in both the immediate relief and the long-term rebuilding efforts.
Our Federation remains in close contact with local volunteer and professional leaders in the impacted areas, offering our support and assessing the most pressing needs. Right now, authorities have emphasized that monetary donations are the most critical form of aid.
Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte has established an Emergency Relief Fund to provide immediate assistance to those in need. Please donate now to help those affected by Hurricane Helene. 100% of your donations will aid Jewish organizations and their communities directly impacted by this catastrophic storm.
At this time, volunteer organizations are not yet able to receive large groups of volunteers. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the agencies directly:
- NC VOAD (a consortium of 70+ NC-based nonprofits coordinating natural disaster responses) is seeking volunteers from the Charlotte Jewish community. They plan to open a warehouse in the Charlotte-Mooresville area, requiring approximately 100 volunteers daily. Tasks will vary and are not limited to physical labor. Interested volunteers can register online at NC VOAD Warehouse and will be contacted.
- NECHAMA – Jewish Response to Disaster has deployed to Western NC and is seeking volunteers (ages 14+). All supplies will be provided. Volunteers should bring sturdy shoes, food, and water, and be prepared for physical work such as home and brush clean-up. To participate, complete this form: NECHAMA Volunteer Form.
Additionally, please be aware that Jewish Family Services (JFS) in Charlotte is offering their assistance to any Jewish families from the impacted areas who have taken refuge in Charlotte. Please help us connect them with JFS at info@jfscharlotte.org.
Thank you for your generosity and willingness to support those in need during this heart-wrenching time. Your contributions will make a lasting difference in the lives of those affected by Hurricane Helene.
