Donate to Our GoFundMe for Hubbard's Marina Crew

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many of our dedicated crew members at Hubbard’s Marina have lost everything. Your generosity can make a real difference in their lives as they begin to rebuild. We are actively seeking donations to support our team during this challenging time.

How Your Donations Help:

  • Car Repairs: Many crew members rely on their vehicles for transportation to work and essential services. Donations will assist in covering repair costs, ensuring they can continue to support their families and communities.

  • Food and Necessities: Basic needs like food, clothing, and personal hygiene items are crucial. Contributions will help provide these essentials, ensuring that our crew members have what they need to get back on their feet.

  • Shelter Support: With many facing temporary housing issues, donations will help provide funds for shelter and other urgent needs.

Every contribution, no matter the size, is invaluable and deeply appreciated. We invite you to donate through our GoFundMe page, where 100% of the proceeds will directly support our crew and their families during this recovery process.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting our community during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion make all the difference.

How Your Donations Help

Your donations will help:

  • Provide immediate financial support to crew members affected by the storm
