Usually, we send an email highlighting the features and benefits of our portable solar generators and batteries. However, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we are asking for your help in supporting our neighbors and friends in their most desperate and vulnerable times.

Please consider donating to the following charitable organizations:

• American Red Cross: Always one of the first groups in and probably the best-known aid organization in the world, the Red Cross offers food, shelter, supplies, and emotional support to victims of crises. It already has hundreds of workers and volunteers in Florida and has opened dozens of shelters for evacuees. You can contribute to the national group's Helene relief efforts.
• The Salvation Army: Another group quick to respond when disaster strikes, the Salvation Army provides food, drinks, shelter, emotional and spiritual care, and other emergency services to survivors and rescue workers. You can donate to Helene efforts online.
• United Way: The United Way has launched a fund to help people impacted by Helene. Local United Way organizations are also accepting donations to support relief efforts for both immediate needs and continued recovery. You can find your local chapter on the organization's website.
• World Central Kitchen: When there is a disaster, Chef José Andrés and his team are there to set up kitchen facilities and start serving thousands of meals to victims and responders. You can help by donating on their website.

There are also many other organizations providing specialized care and assistance:

• All Hands and Hearts: All Hands and Hearts: This volunteer-based organization works alongside local residents to help rebuild schools, homes, and other community infrastructure. It has a Helene fund started.
• Americares: Americares focuses on medical aid, helping communities recover from disasters by providing access to medicine, personal protective equipment, and medical supplies. To help Hurricane Helene victims, Americares has set up a donation page.
