(NewsNation) — Just two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated Florida, Georgia and other states along the Eastern Seaboard, Hurricane Milton tore through Florida.

While cleanup efforts continue for Helene victims, some of the focus has shifted to rescue and recovery efforts in Florida after Milton’s hit.

Hurricane Milton moved into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after plowing across Florida, pounding cities from coast to coast with ferocious winds and rain and whipping up a barrage of tornadoes. It caused at least four deaths and compounded the misery wrought by Helene while sparing Tampa a direct hit.

Helene killed more than 230 people across six states, wiped away smaller communities and displaced thousands. Search-and-rescue crews from all over the nation remain on the ground, hoping to find the several hundred who are still missing.

Here is a list of organizations assisting in the effort to help Helene and Milton victims, accepting donations to assist those affected by the storm.

American Red Cross

The American Red Cross has been on the ground in areas affected by the storm after moving teams of volunteers to regions in Helene’s path to be ready to assist storm victims. The Red Cross has partnered with local shelters, providing snacks and 45,000 ready-to-eat meals. The organization is also deploying emergency vehicles to assist storm victims.

Nexstar, which owns NewsNation, has partnered with the Red Cross to assist Helene victims through a fundraising effort designed to provide financial help to those in need. Those wishing to contribute to the effort can do so by clicking here.

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army has mobilized teams and mobile feeding units, each of which is capable of providing up to 1,500 meals per day. The efforts began in Florida, but the organization said assistance would also be provided to residents living in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Along with meal service, the Salvation Army said it is dispatching trained emotional and spiritual care personnel who will provide comfort and emotional support for survivors and first responders.

In the wake of Hurricane Milton, one way Americans can give back and assist in the recovery is by donating blood. Susan Forbes with the organization OneBlood said it’s a cost-free way to support Milton victims in their time of need.

The organization said there is an urgent need for blood donations, especially for O-negative and O -Positive blood as well as Platelet donations.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity works in 100 communities impacted by Helene working with low-to-moderate-income families facing barriers to recovery, as regular home insurance does not cover flood damage. The organization is currently conducting rapid assessments, but due to the fact many communities are still underwater, understanding the full scope of the damage remains difficult.

How to help: Habitat for Humanity is not accepting volunteers until long-term recovery efforts begin, and volunteers are discouraged from traveling to storm-impacted areas. However, those wishing to contribute financially to the organization’s efforts can donate at the group’s Helene recovery webpage.

World Vision
