Be an Everyday American Hero - so asks the Rotary e-Club of Houston. Here's how you can step up and serve as an "Everyday Hero" during this time of need resulting from Hurricanes Helene and Milton!
It is time for all who are able to step up and serve as an "Everyday Hero". There are so many opportunities to help others if we simply open our eyes to see and take a moment to try and understand those in need around us. You may ask yourself, "But what can I do?" It really only takes time to be considerate of others and recognize the needs of others. If you desire to help recent victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton, there are ways you may help as outlined by DG Nancy Anderson.
1. Donate money to the impacted Rotary Zones 33/34 directly. 2. Donate to the Florida Rotary Districts Relief Fund directly 3. Donate to Disaster Aid USA for cleanup assistance indicating which storm you would like to direct your dollars toward.
4. Volunteer to answer phones for Crisis Cleanup as part of Disaster Aid USA. (most needed at this time) One effective way for families in need to seek assistance is by registering their needs on Crisis Cleanup. Crisis Cleanup is a free service provided to communities following a disaster, aimed at assisting non-profit organizations in navigating the aftermath and identifying families in need of assistance. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, over 23000 individuals called the Crisis Cleanup Hotline to request assistance from non-profit organizations serving in the area. One way you can assist families affected by the storm in Milton is by volunteering as an operator with Crisis Cleanup. We anticipate a high volume of calls from storm victims in the days and weeks ahead, and we want to help them by shining the light on their needs so that others can respond. You can assist from your home any day between 8 AM and 7:30 PM central time. There's no need to schedule a shift, as you can work whenever you have the time. All you need is a computer and internet access, and the training is available online, in both English and Spanish!
