As our neighbors in Surfside suffer one of the most devastating events in our state's history, we want you let you know that we have activated our Disaster Relief and Crisis Fund. This fund is activated during times of crisis and serves as a designated resource to provide hope, help, and healing. From the very beginning of this movement, we have always made a commitment to collaboratively respond to the pain of our community well after the news cycle has ended – Surfside is no different.

We have an initial and immediate goal of raising $75,000.

Where will the funds go?

We already have a request from a trusted, vetted community partner for crisis and trauma related counseling for victims’ families and first responders.

Our goal is to fund vetted immediate needs and also fuel the long-term recovery efforts of local churches and agencies on the ground in the Surfside community. Contributions made to the Disaster Relief and Crisis Fund will be used towards those efforts both in the short and long term.

We are in touch with local churches, community nonprofits, as well as state and local officials who are serving on the ground in Surfside and have communicated our commitment to journey alongside them for the long-haul. 100% of funds raised through our Disaster Relief and Crisis Fund will be used effectively and efficiently; there are no administration fees or other associated overhead costs, guaranteeing that the full amount of your gift goes directly to the long-term relief and recovery efforts of victims' families and first responders.

For the benefit of South Florida,

The Church United Team
