VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS INFORMATION​

FINANCIAL GIFTS ARE THE BEST WAY TO HELP!

  • FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO VOLUNTARY AGENCIES RESPONDING TO DISASTERS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP
  • Cash allows disaster agencies to purchase exactly what is needed.
  • Please see the links below for ways to financially contribute.

MATERIAL DONATIONS FOR DISASTERS

  • Donate ONLY those things that are requested by officials and bring them to the official designated collection centers. See the below links for additional information.

TO VOLUNTEER

  • DO NOT GO TO THE SCENE OF A DISASTER
  • Due to the overwhelming response, there are far more volunteer offers than there are volunteer needs.
  • The arrival of unexpected volunteers will interfere with response efforts
  • STAY SAFE by volunteering with a reputable agency!
  • Volunteers will be needed most during the long-term recovery phase, which will last months/years. Please see the below links for further information.
  • Please be patient and WAIT until relief agencies can train you and use your help
