Responding: Eastern U.S. Flooding
Although the deadly floods across Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee are no longer in the news, these states are still recovering from previous catastrophic events, including flooding caused by Hurricane Helene last year and floods in 2022 in Kentucky. Many of the affected areas are among the poorest counties in the United States. Americares has contacted over 26 local partners, and we are responding to requests for hygiene items and water.
But we need your help to continue our efforts to help people affected by the flooding. Please, will you donate $125 now to help provide lifesaving aid to communities in crisis? |

Providing Cash Assistance After the California Wildfires
For many survivors of the California wildfires, recovery is only just beginning. To help survivors meet their most urgent needs, we’ve provided emergency cash assistance to partner clinics in California for low-income wildfire survivors who have been greatly impacted by this devastating crisis. For many, this support is more than financial relief. It’s a lifeline.

Americares Urban Health Strategy is seeking to change that grim statistic by helping people access quality health services. Americares Mobile Health Centers have been serving Mumbai’s slum communities since 2011.
