Disaster Relief & Assistance
Disaster Relief
& Assistance
When it comes to natural or human-made disasters, Greater Good Charities is There When It Matters®. Whether working with communities to prepare or helping victims of hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, or floods, we provide on-the-ground assistance and fund partners to maximize impact and relief for the affected people and pets, wildlife sanctuaries, and more
With your support, we mobilize in response to need.
Greater Good Charities approaches disaster response in three complementary ways.
We think ahead and prepare communities for imminent natural disasters, respond during disasters by helping on the ground with supplies and relief work, and boost recovery by directly aiding people and pets and helping to rebuild infrastructure.
We directly support those in need during disasters and work alongside local human services and animal welfare agencies.
Greater Good Charities anticipates annual natural disasters like summer wildfires, hurricane season, and flooding. We build disaster caches of commonly needed human and pet supplies and food in these disaster-prone areas ahead of need so that materials are available immediately in weather, road, or other conditions that may delay or hinder aid. This allows relief to come within days rather than weeks.
We work to help affected communities with specific disaster relief activities, including:
- Delivering food and supplies to people and pets.
- Supporting food banks and animal shelters.
- Rebuilding damaged shelters.
- Transporting shelter pets and wildlife to safety.
- Feeding bees vital to agricultural systems.
Your donation allows Greater Good Charities to prepare and respond quickly when disaster strikes. Because of donors like you, we're ready before crisis hits, not scrambling after.
When you give, you ease suffering for people and pet disaster victims, and help communities and shelters rebuild.
Monthly donors are the heart of that readiness. Our Amplifiers are a community that understands preparation is what makes fast, effective disaster response possible.
