UPDATE: We have received $230,000 in applications from Hurricane Helene's impact and expect more as Hurricane Milton hits Florida. We have more applications than we have funds for, currently. Feel free to submit an application either way and we will send funds if we get any more available! We’re in this together.
In community, Team NDS
