We have all seen the disastrous fires that have erupted, taking lives as well as destroying hundreds himes and properties accross Australia.

Rotry is once again taking the lead and looking to provide support for familes in need. To this end several Rotary Districts and clubs have established projects which are redy and able to accept donations from you. All of those projects can apply for funds from this appeal.

Hurricane Ida: Call for Relief Donations
for Communities in Zone 31

Hurricane Ida has devastated communities in our Districts 6200 6840 and 6820. Governors Bob Vaughn (6820) and Mark Lee (6200) have assembled recovery teams to identify needs and coordinate response across all affected areas in Zone 31. Neighboring District 6190, through Governor Karen Johnson, has transported water for distribution in Louisiana. A group of Rotary members from Fairhope, AL, will prepare meals over 600 meals for three days.

In many areas, there are no shelters, no electricity, very limited resources for food, gasoline and supplies, and scarce medical services. Communities such as Golden Meadow, La Place and Galliano are broken and families are left with nothing. Now more than ever is the time for us to live our hashtag, #Rotary Responds.

Here’s how you can help.

- - Please make a donation, and encourage your club, club members, and district to make a donation.
  - Click the button to the right “MAKE A DONATION NOW.” Donations are tax-deductible and will be used to help affected regions in each district.
  - Your donation will help to fund supplies such as: tarps, generators, gas and gas cans, roofing nails, bottled water chain saws, meals, pet food, baby formula, diapers, cleaning supplies and charging stations. Donations are desperately needed to fund these items.
