First of all, this is not an ad - I don’t work for this organization, I’m just sharing their request here. I know people who have volunteered with this organization in the past and they do exceptional work. Lemmy is full of great people who care about others, and this is just one way that you might not have known that you could help out. You don’t have to be Jewish to volunteer.

NECHAMA is gearing up to respond to Hurricane Helene, planning a long-term deployment in western North Carolina. As this is an active disaster site with ongoing search and rescue, we may not be on the ground for several weeks. Meanwhile, we’re working closely with disaster aid partners and have identified a pressing need for virtual volunteers to help log vital disaster data in Crisis Cleanup. Your time will directly support victims and keep aid efforts running smoothly. Can’t volunteer? You can still make a difference with a donation.
