Looking for a way to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene? UGA Extension is partnering with Georgia Farm Bureau through a fund for people to make monetary donations that will go directly to farm families in need. It is called Weathered But Strong and you can access the site at : https://www.gfb.org/hurricane-relief. While the impact has been severe, we have also seen the best in humanity with neighbors helping neighbors and that is so great to see. It is going to be a long recovery for many people. Thank you in advance for what you are doing to help people through these challenging times.
