Hurricane Ida made landfall as one of the most powerful storms to hit the U.S. Gulf Coast. Ida’s destruction has left over one million people in Louisiana without power and homes. The devastating damages continue to displace many, and they need help now more than ever.
Austin Disaster Relief Network launched the Hurricane Ida Relief Fund to help those affected by the widespread storm. The fundraiser aims to raise money for cleaning and rebuilding homes, as well as issue supplies for survivors and evacuees. Supplies range from toiletries, to hygiene kits and gift cards.
