From the Facebook page of the United Methodist Committee on Relief:

“As the magnitude of #HurricaneHelene‘s devastation for families, churches, communities and whole regions of the U.S. becomes clearer, UMCOR has awarded solidarity grants to the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church and the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church to assist their relief efforts, with multiple grants in process for other annual conferences.

Additionally, UMCOR-trained Early Response Teams (ERTs) are coordinating efforts to support the removal of debris, tarping of roofs, and cleaning out of homes in hard-hit areas. If you are interested in volunteering and being trained, connect with your annual conference’s disaster response ministry team. And remember, please do not self-deploy.
To give in support of this and other disasters throughout the U.S., donate here:
