Update on Our Hurricane Response

F+B workers affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton: Applications for both storms close at 6 p.m. CST on November 25. You must apply online for assistance.

We have received over 3,500 disaster relief applications, and our small and mighty team is still working through more than 2,800. Cases are processed in the order in which they were received. We are distributing weekly updates regarding processing time; please watch for emails from our team!

If you applied for assistance unrelated to these disasters, we are working as quickly as possible to process your case. Please reach out to your case manager directly or casemanagement@southernsmoke.org for any updates. Thank you for your patience during this time of unprecedented volume.

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support, and thanks to generous donors, to date we have granted $699,500 to 487 F+B workers affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
