Less than a week has passed and we're staring at another storm approaching the very same region. One of the ways to ensure emergency response orgs are able to meet communities where they are, at a moment's notice, is to become a monthly donor. Yes, even $5 a month helps an organization have sustained impact. Whether you give to Feeding America or another organization of your choice, please always consider breaking down that larger one-time gift into smaller monthly installments. https://lnkd.in/gj_xX4eb For disaster-specific donations: https://lnkd.in/gzVBP9V3
