Hurricane Dorian was a defining event for all Floridians. Recovering from this hurricane is a challenging task. We are dedicated to helping our Bahamian friends quickly, and as much as possible.
Locally, the City of Miami is donating relief supplies that were purchased for its own residents before Hurricane Dorian shifted course away from the city. Locations have now been set up to collect supplies such as water, canned goods, can openers, toiletries, and first aid items.
United Way of Miami-Dade, in collaboration with the Miami Herald, has started Operation Helping Hands to support recovery efforts. All funds raised go directly to help people affected in the Bahamas and other impacted areas.
The Catholic Charities of the Archdioceses of Miami is accepting donations that can be specified for Hurricane Dorian victims. The group plans to aid people who were affected in Florida as well as the Bahamas.
World Central Kitchen is providing on-the-ground relief efforts with multiple kitchens and shelters located across the Bahamas and Florida. To donate $10, text FOOD to 80100, or provide a larger donation.
