Support hurricane relief – Coherent Solutions will match your donation The recent hurricanes, Helene and Milton, have left many communities across the southeastern U.S. struggling to recover. To help, Coherent Solutions is launching a fundraising campaign and will match every donation, doubling the impact. Your contributions will support verified nonprofits, ensuring access to essentials like shelter, food, and medical care for those affected. If you’d like to support, you can donate or simply help spread the word — both make a difference. Together, we can bring relief to those who need it most. 👉 Donate: https://lnkd.in/dCbbxc4t

I know everyone is looking for ways to help. Financially is the best way right now and there are many options. See below for one such option. #uwhelpsNC #hurricanehelene #disasterrelief #uwghp

This shows how place and care for peoples, teams and communities are embedded in the Sibelco strategy.

Here’s an update from our President!

Only 2% of the homes hit by Hurricane Helene in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina had a policy protecting them against catastrophic flooding, according to an analysis by Politico and E&E News. If you’re in a position to help, personally or professionally, please do. The rebuilding efforts will take years for so many impacted. Avoid donating money to non-profits with large overhead. Research local organizations that are in a position to get support to those in need quickly and efficiently. #nonprofit #community #america #insurance #financialservices #communitybanking

It's hard to put into words the sites and scenes we are watching unfold in our beautiful state. Western North Carolina is absolutely devastated from the catastrophic and historical flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. Places many of us have visited are absolutely decimated, and those who call these beautiful towns home are not only displaced but also desperate for support. The recovery won't end in the next few days - or even the next few weeks. It will take months, if not years, for these areas to recover and begin restoring some sense of normalcy. We each have an opportunity to ask ourselves: what if this was me? And once you reflect on that question, I encourage every person in my network to consider how you can contribute to this recovery effort. Join Jason Rymer and me in donating to United Way of North Carolina. Their fund will support both the short- and long-term efforts in Western N.C. If you'd prefer to give in other ways, consider giving to the local chapter of the Red Cross, Samaritan's Purse and World Central Kitchen -- each of these organizations has local responders on the ground. It's time to band together. It's time to spark the collective power of community giving. It's time to rebuild our state. It's time to support our fellow Carolinians. #HurricaneHelene #GiveBack #SupportWNC
