Donate supplies to help hurricane victims

Hurricane victims need our help.

It’s time for hurricane victims to start rebuilding in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The storms brought total devastation to many communities, and as they start to return home and find what’s left to salvage, many will find nothing remains. Help these survivors with essentials to carry on.

As they rebuild their communities they will need critical items to continue down their long road of recovery. So, 5 On Your Side has partnered with United Van Lines, the Salvation Army, and Pilot FlyingJ to send more than 20 tractor trailers filled with supplies to affected areas. When the trucks arrive, the Salvation Army will help distribute them to communities that need them most.

Your continued generosity is needed. Here’s a list of donation items we are accepting:
