Southeastern United States – World Jewish Congress Representative Renee Evans (Georgia), recognized for her commitment to fostering international and interfaith alliances, joined Israeli Consul General Anat Sultan-Dadon and a delegation of Georgia state representatives in Western North Carolina to offer aid and support to communities devastated by Hurricane Helene.
Touring severely affected areas in Haywood and Madison counties, the delegation delivered essential supplies, including meals, clothing, blankets, and heaters, to assist residents in their recovery.
