SAVANNAH – Tropical Storm Debby caused widespread damage across the Coastal Empire, and the storm season is far from over. Family Promise of the Coastal Empire is ready to respond, and it’s asking for the community’s help.

The greater Coastal Empire community is invited to a special event on Aug. 23 to help flood victims from TS Debby.
Several local businesses, such as Operation Kid Forward, Flashback “A Rock and Roll Bar with a Sports Attitude”, CJ's Event Rentals, and the The Ice Cream Stop have come together for “The Hill Gives Back!”, Aug. 23 from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Flashback Rock Club, 10010-B Ford Ave., Richmond Hill.

Donations to its Tropical Storm Relief Fund will provide critical support to families and children impacted by these powerful storms. Every contribution counts. Donate today: www.familypromisece.org/tropicalstormrelieffund
