Hurricane Harvey

One-Year Anniversary Matching Campaign

Hurricane Harvey, the second most costly hurricane to ever hit the United States, made landfall in Texas on Aug. 25, 2017, causing catastrophic flooding that took dozens of lives and left thousands of people in crisis. The GlobalGiving community responded swiftly, bringing immediate relief to devastated communities along the Texas Gulf Coast. One year later, they still need your help.

This project will provide direct assistance for elders who are susceptible to the Coronavirus; people who are displaced from their jobs; families needing temporary child care solutions; and victims of disasters in Houston and surrounding areas.

Target Hunger Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund

by TARGET HUNGER

The Northeast Houston neighborhoods we serve were some of the hardest hit by the floods. In response to the damage and destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey, Target Hunger will coordinate with our community partners, faith partners and governmental agencies to distribute food, water, essential supplies and information from multiple service sites to our neighbors in need. Since Target Hunger operates in neighborhoods that are "food deserts", our role in the recovery effort is a critical one.

Meet the people powering community-led disaster recovery.
