Hurricane Relief Info
Posted by Dreamweave Bamboo Bliss on Oct 15, 2018
Hurricane Michael is one of the worst storms to hit the U.S. in history. We will always try to do whatever we can to assist in the relief efforts no matter how small. We have done research on valid relief agencies and groups that are here to help others and not themselves. Please do whatever you can to chip in. These are simply links with information and we are not affiliated with them nor do we get any sort of recognition for linking to them.
Several good organizations and individuals have deployed to areas affected to provide assistance. Of course, everyone knows the RedCross is there to help. We realize most people are already donating to the RedCross. But we wanted to bring attention to some of lesser known organizations that are providing vital assistance to these areas. These are all highly effective and trusted organizations that are already on the ground providing relief. These organizations also need your help in supporting the communities affected.
