In response to the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene, CDF's Disaster Recovery Fund is partnering with America's Electric Cooperatives and National Co+op Grocers to raise funds for co-ops recovering from the storm's impact. Donations will go directly toward ensuring electric cooperatives are fully equipped to restore power to areas affected by Helene; and supporting the entire food co-op ecosystem's recovery efforts.
