Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted that the company intends to donate to relief efforts associated with fallout from Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene made landfall on September 26 as a Category 4 hurricane, causing over 500 miles of destruction and resulting in a death toll of more than 100. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina were the hardest hit, but the impact was also felt in other areas.
In response, Apple plans to donate an undisclosed sum of money to hurricane relief efforts. The announcement was made in a post to X by Cook on Monday.
We're thinking of all those facing the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground.

Apple routinely donates to relief efforts after natural disasters. In May, Cook announced that Apple would donate to relief efforts for those affected by flooding in Brazil.
Apple has also donated to Hurricane Ian relief efforts, as well as wildfire relief efforts in Maui.
