Hurricane Irma Children's Relief Fund

Thank you for your support of kids during last year’s hurricane season. Your generosity was the driver of our response after Hurricane Irma barreled into the Florida Keys on September 10, 2017. This second of three major U.S. hurricanes in a month left children and families dealing with the loss of homes and power. Schools and child-care centers closed for weeks or months.

We sent nearly 50 staff and volunteers to Florida to launch relief and increase our reach through trusted local agencies. We are still there today, helping restore child-care services, helping children and caregivers cope and preparing families for future disasters. We’re focusing our efforts in the most vulnerable communities and reaching migrant farmer families, many of whom lost everything. Read the impact of your support in our Hurricane Irma One-Year Anniversary report.

Hurricane Irma tested our ability to mobilize a second major relief effort for children in less than a month. Your contribution was crucial, and we are pleased to highlight some of the many ways it has made a difference. Please see your donations at work in this heartwarming video.

Today, Save the Children is responding to the effects of Hurricane Florence. Our emergency responders were on the ground before the hurricane hit and continue to work tirelessly to address the needs of families in shelters. Thousands were forced to evacuate their homes, fearing the worst. With up to 30 inches of rainfall measured in some communities – and some rivers yet to crest – the damage isn’t over yet. Please visit our Hurricane Florence Global Giving Page to help us continue delivering essential support to these American families in crisis.

Thank you again for supporting kids in need.
