As Florida continues its recovery from Hurricane Milton, there are ways people can help.
The Associated Press emphasized the need for cash donations. The needs change as they move further away from the storm and specific needs may not be known for days or weeks, so cash gives the flexibility that people need.
Only send items — food, clothing or equipment — at the request of an organization that’s already in the hurricane-damaged areas. If you send items, recovery workers may have to divert their attention to handling those gifts, pulling them away from where the work is needed most, the AP said.
CNN has set up its own fundraiser through its “Impact Your World” program, allowing people to send donations to a specific organization or split among all the cable news network supports.
Direct Relief is helping medical centers and giving emergency medical aid, the newspaper said.
Save the Children is working on getting emergency supplies to kids and helping with their education after the hurricane. For information on how to donate to Save the Children, click here.
Americares is working with 110 partner clinics in areas Milton damaged, the Post reported.
Heart to Heart provides essential medical supplies while World Vision provides generators, gas cans, food and diapers through partner organizations.
GoFundMe has a centralized hub of vetted fundraisers for victims of Hurricane Milton. The organization also compiled a list of nonprofits holding their own Hurricane Milton relief fundraisers.
If you have time to help in person, The Washington Post said several organizations are looking for volunteers:
All Hands and Hearts - Help may be needed after November. Apply here. The group is also asking for monetary donations.
American Red Cross - Help is needed in shelters and other areas. Apply Here.
St. Bernard Project (SBP) - Email the organization by clicking here.
If you find a charity not listed above but are unsure if they are legitimate, you can check them on Charity Navigator, the Post reported.
