Camden Connection is now Serve South, representing a unified identity that aligns our work, partnerships, and impact across the southern region.

About Resilient South

Resilient South is a full-cycle disaster response and recovery initiative led by Serve South. This work focuses on providing direct financial assistance and coordinating resources for residents impacted by Hurricane Helene, while also establishing a scalable framework for managing future regional disasters, including wildfires and severe weather events.

The project prioritizes recovery efforts in Camden County, with a focus on families in St. Mary’s, Kingsland, and Woodbine.

What This Work Supports

Resilient South focuses on both immediate response and long-term recovery. This includes supporting families as they navigate the financial and physical rebuilding process following a disaster, while strengthening systems that improve coordination for future events.

Current Efforts

Resilient South is centered on high-level coordination and direct support for affected residents. Current activities include:

Facilitating direct financial assistance for families with documented home damage from Hurricane Helene
Managing regional supply hubs to support response and recovery efforts
Leading the formation of Long-Term Recovery Groups (LTRGs) to provide technical oversight and financial stewardship
Maintaining a centralized human services resource database
Coordinating inter-agency support to ensure efficient and aligned service delivery

Who We Serve

This initiative primarily serves individuals and families with documented property damage from Hurricane Helene. It also supports the broader community by strengthening disaster coordination systems and improving access to resources during recovery efforts.

Working Together

Resilient South operates through collaboration with local and regional partners. Current partnerships include:

American Red Cross
Emergency Management Agencies (EMA)
Camden County Chamber of Commerce
Expanding partnerships with organizations such as the The Salvation Army and other regional faith-based and nonprofit groups

Community Impact

Residents benefit from streamlined access to recovery funds and essential supplies. At the same time, partner organizations benefit from a centralized system that serves as a “single source of truth,” helping ensure that resources are distributed efficiently and without duplication.

Get Involved or Stay Informed

Resilient South is continuing to expand its recovery network. Local agencies and organizations interested in participating are encouraged to connect with us. Community members are invited to stay informed about upcoming aid distributions and recovery efforts.
