MILLEN, GA - In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact, the Southeast Produce Council’s SEPC Cares initiative is reaching out to its members for donations to Samaritan’s Purse.

A press release from the association explained that Hurricane Helene hit Florida with 140-mph gusts—the strongest recorded storm to ever hit the Big Bend region—continuing to wreak havoc as it blew devastating winds through Georgia and the Carolinas, with historic rainfall and flooding in areas in the Southern Appalachians.

The storm has left a path of devastation across the Southeast, from the coast of Florida to the mountains of North Carolina, and SEPC is responding to help those in need. SEPC stated that it will match all donations up to $25,000 in total. Donations can be made here.

SEPC asks that you please keep the millions of people affected by this massive storm in your thoughts and prayers. We will continue to keep you informed as we learn more about Helene’s impact.
