Hurricanes Harvey and Irma left a staggering path of destruction. Throughout Texas and Florida and neighboring states, people will start rebuilding their homes and their lives, and they will need all our support to recover from the storms.
Here are some ways that you and people with disabilities in your life can work together to help our neighbors in Texas and Florida begin the slow process of recovery.
Volunteer
Many websites list volunteer opportunities to serve the community, including the chance to serve people impacted by the hurricanes. While some of these may be in Florida and Texas specifically, other opportunities to help may be in your hometown!
Check out these searchable databases for your chance to serve those in need: All for Good, Create the Good, Do Something, Eventbrite, HandsOn Network, Idealist, MeetUp, and Volunteer Match.
Give
One way to support people affected by the hurricanes is through giving.
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities served by chapters of The Arc, the chapters themselves, their employees, board members and volunteers have been impacted and are starting the long process of recovery. If you want to give, consider making a donation to The Arc of the United States Disaster Relief Fund. The Arc Texas also has a page available to donate specifically to disaster relief from Hurricane Harvey. You may also want to consider donating directly to state and local chapters in Florida and Texas to support their relief efforts.
To give more broadly, both The American Red Cross and Salvation Army have pages available for you to donate to people in need.
Keep Focused
The effects of these hurricanes will be felt over the next days, months, and years. As you seek to help, look for opportunities to stay engaged and to give to meet not only the need today, but future needs as well.
I’m the proprietor of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently seeking to grow my wholesale side of company. It would be great if anybody at targetdomain can help me 🙂 I thought that the best way to accomplish this would be to connect to vape stores and cbd stores. I was really hoping if someone could suggest a reliable website where I can purchase CBD Shops B2B Mailing List I am already looking at creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the very best selection and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
