As Ohioans step up to support storm relief efforts in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene throughout much of the southeastern United States, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Financial Institutions urge those who want to donate to be careful and make sure that the organizations they support with financial donations are legitimately helping victims of the storm.

“Our fellow Americans need our help in the aftermath of this terrible storm,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “Ohioans have always stepped up to the plate when disaster strikes, whether at home or across the nation.”
