It is a critical time to address the impact of high heat on individuals, families and communities across the state, particularly for those struggling financially to address and adapt to the record-breaking temperatures. Wildfire is here to help. Governor Hobbs' order also directed state agencies to develop a comprehensive heat plan and advocate for more federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding. As a community action agency that connects low-income households with resources, Wildfire will do everything we can to support Governor Hobbs bringing more LIHEAP money into the state. "The program was initially designed to help cold-weather communities keep residents heated in the winter, but it has evolved to become an important resource for air conditioning assistance in hot summers, said Wildfire Executive Director, Kelly McGowan. Wildfire will match community donations up to $500,000 in donations to repair and replace HVAC units for qualifying low-income individuals at no cost to them -- bringing the total raise to $1,000,000. The more we are able to raise in donations, the greater the impact we can make.

🌟 Together, We Can Make a Sweet Impact 🌟 Western North Carolina is more than just a beautiful place—it’s a vibrant community full of resilience and creativity. After Hurricane Helene swept through, leaving many of our neighbors, small businesses, and artists struggling, it became clear that recovery wouldn’t just take months—it would take years. That’s why I started Sweet Impact. We’ve partnered with the Community Foundation of North Carolina’s Long Haul Recovery and Resilience Fund to ensure sustained support for individuals and businesses over the long term, without any red tape. Through community events focused on the combined talents of resident bakers, we aim to raise some serious dough for Western North Carolina. Here’s where YOU can help: We’ve launched a GoFundMe to support our efforts. Every donation helps us cover the costs of hosting these impactful events—from venues and supplies to staffing and promotional materials. And the best part? 100% of ticket sales from our events go directly to the resilience fund. If you love Asheville, believe in the power of community, or simply want to lend a hand, I invite you to join us on this journey. Your support—whether through donations, shares, or simply spreading the word—means the world to us and the people we hope to serve. 🌟 Donate today to help us make a Sweet Impact: 🍪 https://lnkd.in/e9BSpcEK 🌟 Together, we can ensure our community doesn’t just recover but thrives for years to come. 💚 Sweetimpactavl.org #SweetImpact #HurricaneHeleneRecovery #WesternNC #SupportLocal #CommunityResilience

As you may have learned, the southern region of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, has been experiencing catastrophic flooding. To the best of our knowledge, FICO colleagues and their families in Brazil are doing fine, but this disaster has already claimed dozens of lives and inflicted unprecedented devastation on more than 360 communities. The extent of the devastation is staggering and heartbreaking. To support the people of Brazil suffering from this tragedy, FICO is making a corporate cash contribution to the State Government of Rio Grande do Sul targeting relief efforts, announced today by our CEO Will Lansing. In addition, our team members in Latin America have launched a highly engaged FICO Cares donation drive, subject to corporate match, involving both cash and supply donations. Those interested in supporting the relief efforts can also directly contribute: https://lnkd.in/dC_jAB3k

Help our neighbors impacted by the hurricane and flooding. As someone who knows firsthand, the devastation that comes from a hurricane and flooding, I can tell you that the impacted communities are in for a long journey of recovery. Help is needed, not just now, but in the months to come. If you are moved to help, please consider donating through Catholic Charities USA. 100% of donated funds are distributed directly to impacted areas. You might be want to collect and then send donated goods like supplies, clothes and other in-kind support. I encourage you to consider a financial gift instead. In-kind donations are needed, but not right now. When a community is as ravaged as these communities are, finding places to store, sort and distribute donations is not easy. Let them buy what is most needed by the community to help in the recovery efforts. Let's help the communities in our neighboring states. They were here for us when we needed them, now let's pay it forward.
