Hurricane Ian clean-up continues in Florida. The category 4 hurricane caused widespread damage across the state.
We have had a record number of churches reach out to us requesting aid for themselves and their communities. The damage from this hurricane is so great, it will likely be our largest response in recent years.

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida on Wednesday, September 28th, as one of the biggest storms to ever hit the U.S. Severe flooding has damaged homes, blocked roadways, and left many people stranded in their homes. More than 2 million people have been left without power.
IDES disaster coordinators are arriving in Florida tonight to begin initial assessments. We have already been in contact with a number of churches and are starting to reach out to homeowners who need our assistance.

Please join us in praying for the people of Florida as Hurricane Ian continues to move toward making landfall. We have been in contact with a number of partnering churches and are ready to assist them as needed.
