Our hearts are with all of those in Texas and across the Gulf Coast who have had their lives affected by the horrific disaster of #HurricaneHarvey. The extent of the devastation is stunning, but, thankfully, the heroism and sacrifice of the first responders and volunteers who are risking their lives and working tirelessly to save others is inspiring. We have heard from some of you asking how you can get help.
Here are 3 immediate ways you can help:
- Volunteer, donate goods or donate funds directly to local groups working on the ground in Texas
- Create a Team Sierra HarveyHelp page to help fundraise for the relief work. Every dollar you raise will go toward groups working on the ground to mitigate the hurricane’s human and environmental effects
- Donate to Sierra Club's Lone Star chapter in Texas. Right now, we are working hand-in-hand with frontline communities to ensure 100% of funds you donate will go directly to supporting a just and equitable relief effort. #AJustHarveyRecovery
