Support Hurricane Florence Relief Efforts

Shane Engel • September 12, 2018

1 Million Ordered to Evacuate

As we prepare for Hurricane Florence, there are things we can do to preemptively prepare for precise action.

In this category 3 hurricane, we are anticipating:

Massive Flooding
High Winds
Damage to Homes
Power Outages
Road Closures

HOPE worldwide’s Global Disaster Response team is monitoring all these life-threatening disasters and is communicating preparedness information to threatened areas. In the US, Hurricane Florence is now a very dangerous category 3 Hurricane that is expected to make landfall somewhere in North Carolina.

In the threatened areas in the US, Caribbean and Philippines, there are over 30 HOPEww chapters with over 10,000 members. Around the world over 200 Million people are currently in the path of a Hurricane or Typhoon.

We are positioned to support the disaster and we're asking for your support by sharing our efforts, signing up to volunteer, and/or make a financial contribution to support the relief, response, and rebuilding efforts.

You can help provide hope to those impacted by Hurricane Florence. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have evacuated and may be affected by this natural disaster.

Please provide life-changing support by making a donation here .

Thank you for your compassion and attention to this urgent matter. We appreciate you and your time.

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
