United Way of the Piedmont activates United for All Fund for Hurricane Helene relief

In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union counties, United Way of the Piedmont has activated the United for All Fund to provide immediate relief to affected families. With early donations totaling over $86,000 thanks to individual and organizational gifts, the fund will support local families in need of shelter, food, and financial assistance during this critical time.

The United for All Fund will address the most urgent needs facing our community in the aftermath of the hurricane by:

• Giving immediate aid where it is needed most
• Supporting local partners in disaster relief efforts
• Ensuring families have the resources to rebuild their lives

United Way of the Piedmont will coordinate with local partners and their Community Resource Coordinators (CRCs) to identify families most in need and allocate funds effectively, ensuring relief efforts are both targeted and impactful.
