If you or someone you know needs help cleaning up damage from Hurricane Helene at your home/residence, call (844) 965-1386 to ask for help. Crisis Cleanup connects volunteers from local relief organizations, community groups and faith communities who may be able to assist with mucking out after floods, moving debris to curbs, tarping roofs, and chain-sawing downed trees.

All services are free, but service is not guaranteed due to the overwhelming need.

This hotline will remain open through Friday, October 11, 2024.
