Hurricanes Milton and Helene devastated communities in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. Schools in these areas faced destructive flooding and wind damage.
“The carpet is gone, the baseboards are gone, and a lot of our reading books were destroyed,” said Carmen, a kindergarten teacher in Florida to a local television station in Seminole Heights, FL.
While recovery takes time, students need to get back to school.
You can help students get essential supplies to start learning again.
AdoptAClassroom.org’s Natural Disaster Fund is currently matching donations to support hurricane relief.
Online donations to our Natural Disaster Fund will be matched up to $10,000* through June 30, 2024. This match is made possible by a grant from KKR & Co., Inc.
Your donation ensures every student has the supplies they deserve in uncertain times.
How AdoptAClassroom.org provides hurricane relief:
-
We research school and/or school communities that have experienced significant damage after a hurricane
-
We then work with the local teachers in our network or connect with school contacts to identify classrooms in need.
-
Funds are disbursed to educator accounts so they can purchase supplies immediately.
-
AdoptAClassroom.org’s Teacher Services team works with teachers and school contacts to identify a good location, like another school or district office to ship supplies.
-
Supplies are drop-shipped from our network of vendors directly to educators.
-
Students have the supplies they need.
