Update on Our Hurricane Response

Our small and mighty team is working through more than 3,000 applications for both Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The processing time for applications may range from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the date of your application—cases are processed in the order in which they were received. You must apply online for assistance.

If you applied for assistance unrelated to a disaster, we are working as quickly as possible to process your case. Please reach out to your case manager directly or casemanagement@southersmoke.org for any updates. We appreciate your patience during this challenging time. We are committed to serving you as soon as possible and look forward to the opportunity to assist you.

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support, and thanks to generous donors, to date we have granted $375,000 to 247 F+B workers affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton with more than 3,000 applications in process.
