Our Impact

Hurricane Fiona recovery efforts continue across the island of Puerto Rico. More than one million households applied for FEMA assistance and power was intermittent in many communities for months. Without support, tens of thousands of individuals and families would not have had their basic needs met due to this disaster.

When the clean-up efforts began, we focused on life-sustaining measures for medically fragile survivors and on debris removal. This process took months in more rural areas of the island. We collaborated with Puerto Rico Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and its member agencies to ground-truth the most critical product need gaps from nonprofits working in impacted communities. We then worked with our humanitarian supply chain partner, LIFT Nonprofit Logistics, to consolidate and ship goods from our Jacksonville, Florida warehouse to Puerto Rico.

These items included power generators, shoes, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, clothing, and other essential goods. To date, we have distributed more than $3.2 million worth of donated product to help support Fiona recovery efforts. However, the work is still ongoing.
