Monthly giving
A light that stays on, every month
Disasters don't follow a schedule, but preparation does. Monthly givers keep our warehouses stocked between storms, so we can move the same day the call comes in.
Why monthly gifts matter most
-
We stock up early
Steady gifts let us buy supplies before each season, when prices are calm and trucks are easy to book.
-
Trailers stay packed
When the call comes at 2 a.m., the cots are already on the trailer. Monthly gifts are the reason.
-
We can stay longer
Recovery takes months. Reliable income lets us promise families a caseworker for up to a year.

When will I get my receipt?
Online gifts get an emailed receipt right away. Monthly givers get one combined receipt each February for the year before.
