How To Help Those Impacted By Hurricane Ian
Beasley Media Group is proud to support the Red Cross and the thousands of staff and volunteers working hard to help those who have been impacted by Hurricane Ian.
We invite you to join us in aiding the people affected by disasters like Hurricane Ian by making a gift to the Red Cross Disaster Relief.
Thousands of families in Florida, including the hard-hit communities in Southwest Florida, affected by Hurricane Ian urgently need support.
The Red Cross has hundreds of trained disaster workers on the ground supporting this relief effort and more are on the way. But powerful storms like Hurricane Ian create widespread devastation and more needs, than any one organization can meet on their own.
They will continue to work closely with the entire response community — government agencies, other non-profit groups, faith-based organizations, area businesses and others — to make sure people get the help they need as quickly as possible.
To help patients in Florida, the Red Cross has sent several hundred blood products to ensure blood remains available for patients in areas impacted by the storm.
As conditions slowly improve over the coming days and weeks, response efforts will expand as evacuation centers transition to emergency shelters with more robust services.
Your donation can provide meals, shelter, and hope to these communities. Learn about more ways to help here.
You can also text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Thank you for joining us in support this important work.
