| Here’s the best way to help families, all year long ▸ |
Puerto Rico declared a state of emergency as Hurricane Dorian roared past the island yesterday. Moments like these are a reminder that disaster can happen at any time. In hurricane season — and throughout the year — our work is more important than ever. Mercy Corps has been on the ground in Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria in 2017. We’ve been helping communities prepare for the next big storm, transforming community centers into resilience hubs with solar panels for off-grid energy, disaster response kits, search and rescue training, and disaster preparedness education. And in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, our teams are ready to respond if needed. Mercy Corps’ sustained response — in Puerto Rico, and in countries around the world — is made possible in large part by the consistent support of our Partners In Mercy. Partners In Mercy are caring people like you who give what they can each month to ensure people facing the world’s toughest challenges can get what they need to survive and create a thriving future for themselves and their families. It’s quick and easy to become a Partner In Mercy. Join today and your monthly gift of just $10 or more will be matched for a full year — up to $50,000 — thanks to a generous group of supporters. 
Being a Partner In Mercy is hands-down the best, most effective way to make the greatest impact for families around the world.
Here are some examples of what your monthly gift could provide:
...for 12 full months.
Thanks to our Partners In Mercy and other supporters, we’ve reached more than 60,000 people in Puerto Rico with our emergency response, recovery and preparedness efforts. And in the initial aftermath of Hurricane Maria, Mercy Corps provided nearly $300,000 in emergency cash and distributed 5,000 solar lanterns and 2,500 water filters to thousands of families living in mountainous or hard-to-reach areas. One of the reasons that Partners In Mercy make such a big difference is that monthly giving reduces administrative costs and provides reliable support that makes it possible for us to respond immediately to crises and spark lasting change year-round. That means every dollar of your monthly gift can go further than a single donation.
