This past weekend, the Southern Appalachian Mountain region was devastated by a major hurricane. A week in, and there are still people missing, people cut off from the outside world, people living without access to safe drinking water, food or utilities. The need is extreme for many, but there are some extraordinary organizations working tirelessly to help.

Aside from the government response, this has been a 'neighbors helping neighbors' effort. I wanted to talk about a few of the groups that are doing amazing work in the aftermath of Helena. Links to the organizations I talk about on the podcast are below:
