Google donates $1 million to victims of Hurricane Helene

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– Low income families whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Helene are getting some help from Google staying warm this Winter.

On Monday, December 16, the South Carolina Office of Resilience announced the tech-giant is donating $1 million to go toward weatherization for the homes of those impacted by the storm.

Officials say unmet housing needs across the state exceeds the needs those after the 2015 flood, Hurricane Matthew in 2016, and Hurricane Florence in 2018 combined.
