MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene stretches from Florida to North Carolina.

Everyone has been moved by the heartbreaking images, so we want to do our part to help the victims.

That's why on Tuesday, Oct. 15 we're partnering with the restaurant Philly Down South located on Hutchinson Island.

The owner is donating 20% of sales that day to the Scripps Howard hurricane relief fund.
