Hurricane Idalia Disaster Relief Fund

About

Hurricane Idalia made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Florida on August 30, 2023 as a Category 3 hurricane. The Florida coast is expected to experience some of the highest winds in recent history, with record-breaking storm surges and flooding, resulting in catastrophic damage. Tornado warnings are also in effect across central and northern Florida. Evacuation orders were issued in nearly 30 Florida counties and recovery efforts will be massive. Hurricane Idalia is projected to continue up the coast towards the Carolinas in the coming days. The following organizations are providing necessary relief resources including food, shelter, and medical services, as well as other recovery efforts. Your donation to this Fund will support these organizations' shared mission of providing relief to Floridians impacted by this hurricane. Please note that the composition of organizations included in this Fund is subject to change as more information becomes available about needs on the ground.
