Secretary of State Mark Hammond Urges Donors to Give Smart as the Southeast Recovers from Hurricane Helene

COLUMBIA – South Carolina Secretary of State Mark Hammond cautioned donors to practice wise charitable giving as the Southeast begins to recover and rebuild from Hurricane Helene. “The people of South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee face unprecedented challenges following Hurricane Helene’s destruction,” said Secretary Hammond. “This recovery will not be quick, and communities will need our help. I encourage anyone who wants to help devastated communities to do their research, so that their donation will go to those in need.”
