Hurricane Helene and Milton: Disaster Relief

1 MIN READ

As our week goes on, we continue to see the incredible devastation left behind by the recent hurricanes, and we want to do all that we can to support those affected. Our founder and CEO Paul Edwards, a North Carolina native, is hearing the damage and losses are far beyond what was initially estimated. With that in mind, we would like to share some resources with our members and their communities:

Blue Ridge Public Radio compiled a list of more than 35 organizations providing relief in western North Carolina and federal resources for all affected areas. See their list here.

Charity Navigator curated a list of organizations on the ground in all of the affected areas that you can donate to. See their list here.

Apply for FEMA disaster relief assistance here.

Again, as we shared earlier this week, if anyone out there needs to pause their payments on their membership as a result of your business being closed and/or damaged due to the hurricane, you can do so and CONTINUE maintaining full access to all of your CEDR HR support, including all the software, with no interruptions to any of your services. We will make a note in your file and contact you every thirty days to see how you are doing until you, your employees, and your business get back on your feet.

You can send a pause request email to support@cedrsolutions.com
