Monthly Support For Disaster Relief Survivors

When disaster strikes, families don’t have time to wait. Homes are damaged, jobs are lost, and daily essentials become out of reach in an instant. The question isn’t if help is needed—it’s how fast we can respond.

Thanks to monthly donors, Ministries of Grace is able to act immediately when storms, floods, or other crises impact our North Georgia communities. While others may still be organizing resources, we’re already delivering meals, providing gas cards, and offering shelter support to families who are suddenly left with nothing.

Why Disaster Relief Needs Monthly Support

In 2024, Georgia experienced four significant disaster events that caused more than $1 billion in damages, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). From violent thunderstorms to widespread flooding, these events left lasting scars on families—especially in vulnerable regions like North Georgia.

These aren’t isolated incidents. They are part of a rising trend that demands consistent, ready-to-deploy support. Emergency response can’t rely on one-time fundraising efforts alone. By the time money is raised, it may be too late to meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable families. But recurring gifts change everything.

Monthly giving allows us to:

  • Stock disaster kits filled with nonperishable food, hygiene supplies, and clean water
  • Fuel our vehicles for immediate delivery of meals and essentials
  • Provide temporary shelter assistance when families are displaced
  • Deploy staff and volunteers quickly, without waiting for funding

In short, monthly giving replaces hesitation with readiness.

Real Impact: 213 Families in One Day

After a recent storm swept through Forsyth and Dawson counties, 213 families came to us in a single day. Some had lost power. Others were evacuated. Many had no food, no transportation, and no way to meet even their most basic needs.

Because of the generosity of monthly donors, we didn’t need to ask how—we just did it. Meals were delivered. Gas cards were issued. Relief kits were distributed. And families were reminded that they weren’t alone.

“In moments of crisis, your monthly gift becomes the calm inside someone else’s storm.”

A Reliable Safety Net for the Unexpected

Disasters are unpredictable—but our response doesn’t have to be. Ministries of Grace is committed to being a steady presence in the most unstable moments. Monthly giving ensures we never have to choose between helping today or saving for tomorrow. We can do both.

Your support helps us be first on the scene—not weeks or months later, but right now.
