Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm. Over 4 million people were immediately affected with power loss, extreme flooding, and heavy winds. Countless more households have been affected along all of Florida’s Gulf Coast and through to Georgia, South and North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The GEM team is on the ground conducting distributions out of Perry, Florida and Asheville, North Carolina. This includes water, food, cleaning supplies, tarps, pet supplies, hygiene supplies, and more. Furthermore, GEM is also making smaller aid runs by vehicle and helicopter to rural zones and cut-off communities. Select which initiative you'd like to donate to below.

Our GEM BStrong team is on the ground now in Maui, Hawaii, assisting those who have been severely affected by the wildfires.
Our immediate assistance will come in the form of our BStrong cash cards, which offer survivors the flexibility of purchasing whatever supplies they need most. We will also be offering relocation and short-term accommodation assistance to those who’s homes have been severely damaged or completely destroyed in the fires. We will also be offering support for pets affected.
Our team will be on the ground indefinitely, ensuring that those on Maui will be given as much long-term support as needed.

In partnership with Global Empowerment Mission, BStrong has committed an initial $I0,000,000 in donated supplies to support the people of Turkey’s devastating string of earthquakes. Our team is on the ground following the Kahramanmaraş Earthquake in ground zero providing bulk humanitarian food aid to shelters throughout southeastern Turkey in direct partnership with @turkishembassy @tcmiamibk.
The situation on the ground is one of the worst natural disasters of our time. The death toll is rising rapidly & the people displaced from buildings that are no longer livable has created an urgent humanitarian crisis that Global Empowerment Mission is directly supporting at a large scale.

Bstrong's mandate is getting refugees out and aid into Ukraine #refugeesoutaidin. Bstrong and Global Empowerment Mission have established 5 warehouses totaling in over 90,000 square feet, with over 5,000 pallet slots. Bstrong and Global Empowerment Mission have established a Welcome Center in Medyka, Poland/Ukraine border.
GEM Bstrong will focus primarily on its relocation assistance: Since the border cities are inundated with refugees, we are rapidly identifying people who have friends and family within the EU that can house and support them. Your donation funds 100% of the refugee’s transportation, lodging, and airfare to the destination of their loved ones. Also, we are helping refugees out of tents and into warm homes of Polish families through our connection with the Polish churches.
