Amazing Charities to Help Hurricane Victims
Hi friends! I so appreciate you being willing to help our neighbors that have been uprooted and devastated by recent hurricanes, especially those in Florida and North Carolina. My team and I put together a list containing some of the most trusted, boots-on-the-ground organizations for hurricane relief, which you can find below.
If you are able to donate even $1, we could raise almost $1 million dollars! All donations are tax-deductible, and each organization has received one of the highest possible scores on Charity Navigator, meaning you can give confidently that every dollar is used responsibly and immediately.
