Communities across Southwest Virginia depend on United Way of Southwest Virginia to quickly mobilize to meet immediate needs and assist in long-term recovery after disaster strikes. United Way of Southwest Virginia has the capacity, experience, and working relationships to provide the resources needed for relief and recovery.
Hurricane Helene caused devastation throughout Southwest Virginia and the New River Valley in communities such as Damascus and Taylor's Valley from September 26-28, 2024, requiring emergency evacuations and swift water rescue efforts. Thousands of residents were forced from their homes with only the clothes on their backs, and even more were left without electricity and safe drinking water.
United Way of Southwest Virginia has activated the 2024 SWVA Regional Disaster Relief Fund to assist those impacted by the flooding.
All 2024 SWVA Regional Disaster Relief Fund donations will go directly to support those impacted by the September 2024 flood.
United Way of Southwest Virginia works with authorities and partners in the affected localities to distribute funds.
