Ms. Pat is very grateful for all the work IOCC volunteers put in to repair her storm damaged house. She passes on the kindness by helping in her own community.
One year ago, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton devastated areas of the Southeast. Since then, over 330 IOCC volunteers have cleaned out and repaired 79 homes.
Karina, a 44-year-old mother of two, fled the conflict in Ukraine in 2022 to find refuge in Poland with her family. Because of high living costs, the family was forced to relocate again.
Thanks to support from IOCC and GOPA-DERD, families like Hala’s can equip themselves for the upcoming fall and winter seasons and find some relief knowing they’re prepared.
IOCC is monitoring the situation and coordinating with local authorities and response organizations. In addition, IOCC staff are in contact with Orthodox parishes in the region to gather information and offer support.
