Ways To Help
ALAN would like to remind those seeking to help that while donations of physical items like food and clothing are well intended, the volume of goods has already begun to overwhelm response efforts and clog supply chains, as vehicles have been unable to transport them from the dock where they arrive by ship to survivors. Please consider making a cash donation to one of the below organizations. Cash donations can buy goods that support the local economy and can be delivered exactly where and when needed.
