Hurricanes Helene and Milton Update:

How You Can Help

 

Dear Friends, 


Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee were just recently hit with Hurricane Helene, and now Florida is facing additional damage from Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall on Wednesday, Oct. 9.


Damages from Helene have already been catastrophic, and our hearts and prayers go out to all currently affected and those who may be in the path of Milton. Florida Gov. DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 51 counties ahead of this impending storm.

 

I’m always amazed at how interested our ABC community is in supporting relief and recovery efforts, and I’m often asked, “How can I help?” Well, there’s a lot you can do to assist our fellow members and residents during this time. If you are interested, please consider the following:

Donate to the American Red Cross through ABC’s donation portal.
Your Red Cross disaster relief gift will help people whose lives have been upended by wildfires, storms, floods and countless other crises. This custom website tracks donations by the ABC community and can be dedicated to a friend or loved one.

 

Donate to the ABC Cares Foundation via the online portal. The ABC Florida East Coast chapter and the ABC Cares Foundation Inc. are committed to assisting communities affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. 100% of donations made to the ABC Cares Foundation—an IRS 501(c)(3)—for this purpose will be restricted, directly supporting regional needs, and are 100% tax-deductible. 

Please share with your colleagues as appropriate. Learn more about how to prepare and recover from a hurricane and other natural disasters on the ABC website. 

 

Sincerely,

Mike Bellaman
