Hurricane Maria is the 13th hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season and it brought devastation to a number of islands that were still trying to recover from Hurricane Irma. Organizations on the ground need your support now more than ever — be it through volunteering, offering monetary donations, or sending supplies to the area. Below you'll find a list of organizations that could use your help:

Local Charities

Puerto Rico

The Hurricane Maria Community Relief & Recovery Fund

Low-income communities of color often face the worst destruction and slowest recovery and have fewer resources to safeguard homes, vehicles, and other property. When the winds die down and the floods recede, these communities are often forgotten by reconstruction efforts. 100% of money raised will be used to support immediate relief, recovery, and equitable rebuilding in Puerto Rico for the communities hit hardest by the storm.

Unidos Por Puerto Rico

Was created by the island’s First Lady as a response to Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Donations can be sent online and on October 1, there will be a telethon and concert to raise funds for those impacted by the storm.

ConPRmetidos

Who's mission is to cultivate the strength and resilience of children and families, improve the quality of life in our community, and maintain our community’s heritage, history, and culture, has launched Unidos PA’ Puerto Rico to raise money for hurricane relief.
