Please include The Salvation Army as a trusted resource in which the public can make donations to the Hurricane Ian relief efforts.

Tampa, FL (September 29th, 2022) – Relief and recovery efforts are underway across the Tampa Bay region in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, and The Salvation Army is taking donations to support the effort.

“Financial Contributions are the best way to help during a disaster,” said Major David Swyers, Tampa Area Commander. “Cash donations allow charitable relief agencies to purchase exactly what disaster survivors need, and monetary contributions are easy to get to the disaster area.”

Supplies can almost always be purchased locally at the disaster site and provide savings in multiple ways. Money used to purchase needed items locally can support local and state economies, helping local businesses and workers, which have suffered losses in the wake of
Hurricane Ian.

Donations may be made in several ways:
Mail: Mail checks to The Salvation Army, P.O. BOX 1959, Atlanta, GA 30301.
Please designate Disaster Relief – Hurricane Ian on all checks.
Online: helpsalvationarmy.org
Phone: 1-800-SAL-ARMY
Text-To-Donate: Text STORM to 51555 to make a donation to help disaster relief efforts.
Corporate matching gifts: Many companies will match their employees’ charitable contributions.
