Do you want to help those recently affected by storms in Alabama? 

You can help by giving to the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund (GERF). The GERF is a fund for the unmet needs of families and individuals working to recover from disasters in our state. There is a specific process for application through local Long Term Recovery Committees (LTRCs). LTRCs are set up in counties/regions to locate recovery resources, assess and confirm needs, and grant funding for rebuild and recovery. LTRCs request funding from a variety of sources, including Community Foundations and GERF. The GERF has provided funding for Hurricane Katrina, April 2011 tornadoes and a various disaster recovery efforts in our state. Serve Alabama and the Alabama Emergency Management Agency are the Co-Lead State agencies for the GERF with The United Ways of Alabama serving as fiscal partner.
