In Boone, North Carolina, 62 members of the Pennsylvania Amish community demonstrated exceptional community service by constructing 12 tiny homes in just 48 hours for Hurricane Helene victims. This initiative, costing over $300,000, was entirely funded by the Amish, showcasing their efficiency, craftsmanship, and generosity. The project has received widespread online appreciation, with many suggesting that organizations like FEMA could benefit from adopting similar efficient and community-driven approaches. The Amish builders have returned home but are scheduled to come back in January to continue their work, highlighting their ongoing commitment to aid those in need.

Hurricane Milton is projected to bring damaging winds and life-threatening storm surge to Florida. Here's how you can help: Federal employees and their families may face significant challenges in the aftermath of this storm. Following Hurricane Helene, FEEA is providing disaster relief grants to federal employees across six states, assisting with temporary lodging and storm-related damage. FEEA is again ready to provide support through our Disaster Relief Grants, helping feds cover the costs of temporary lodging, critical home repairs, and replacement mattresses. But we need your support! Back-to-back hurricanes will strain FEEA’s resources. Join us in bringing our #FedsHelpingFeds mission to life and to help federal employees impacted by both Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Based in North Carolina, we are profoundly affected by the unprecedented destruction Hurricane Helene has brought to our western regions. Despite the valiant efforts of first responders, the National Guard, utility teams, and humanitarian workers, many of the most severely impacted areas remain isolated, lacking access to essentials like gas, food, water, electricity, and phone service. The devastation has also reached parts of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. Although our facilities were not damaged, it's likely we all know someone—be it a colleague, friend, family member, neighbor or client—who has been touched by this tragedy. In such times of crisis and hardship, deciding how best to offer support can be challenging. However, uniting in our efforts can create significant impact. We encourage you to consider supporting the recovery alongside Alcami by contributing to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. If you prefer to donate through an organization you're already familiar with and trust for their relief efforts, we suggest considering direct contributions to them or to established entities like the American Red Cross or Salvation Army. Let’s keep these communities close to our hearts and do everything within our power to assist them as they navigate this difficult journey.
