$1 Million Raised for Louisiana Flood Victims Disaster Relief

2016 Hurricane Matthew

3 300 supporters came together to extend a helping hand to seniors

SleepyMonkey As Hurricane Matthew battered communities from Haiti to North Carolina, generous individuals responded to the growing crisis with incredible compassion. More than 3,300 supporters came together to extend a helping hand to seniors who faced hardship in the wake of this disaster. Together with matching gifts from AARP and AARP Foundation, we were able to distribute more than $600,000 to the following organizations that are helping residents get back on their feet in the U.S. and abroad -- many of them with a special focus on helping vulnerable older adults: • Elder Source, Florida
• Senior Resource Alliance, Florida
• Home Works of America, South Carolina
• United Way of North Carolina, North Carolina
• Food Bank of Albemarle, North Carolina
• The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, North Carolina
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina, North Carolina
• Legal Aid of North Carolina, North Carolina
• HelpAge, Haiti
• Habitat for Humanity, Haiti Thanks to you, more people are getting what they need to get back on their feet -- from food and shelter to legal assistance and grants to help rebuild. The long process of reconstructing homes and lives has begun. Your generous emergency gift is truly making a difference.
