As the storm makes its way to the United States, the Bahamas is preparing to deal with the aftermath.
If you’re looking for ways to help and support those in need, here are a variety of organizations assisting with recovery efforts.
Bahamas Red Cross
Staff and volunteers from Bahamas’ Red Cross is asking for donations of non-perishable goods, baby supplies, cleaning items, and bedding to distribute across the island.
To create awareness around the Bahamas and what is needed, the organization is also using the hashtag #HelpusHelp on social media.
Bahamas Relief
Toiletries, diapers, first items, cleaning supplies, canned goods, and box fans are just a few items that Miami Dade Community Operations Center is asking for to assist those in the Bahamas.
Here’s one of the efforts that will be supporting the efforts in the Bahamas. @ValenciaGunder is leading the charge, and we greatly appreciate her efforts.

How do we organize a response in Bahamas? Here’s our current map we are working from…. @WCKitchen has kitchens ready to go and shelters mapped out. If kitchens are destroyed, we build one and cook in big paella pans! https://t.co/yNzrfrKIaS pic.twitter.com/fa4sBN8qMe
