Millions of people in Florida are bracing for the impact of Hurricane Milton, which meteorologists are saying could be one of the most powerful storms to make landfall in recent history. The expected, widespread damage will require an urgent, immediate response, and that is why Embrace Relief is beginning our campaign to raise funds for communities who will soon need it.

Milton is expected to make landfall on Wednesday, Oct. 9, along Florida’s Gulf Coast, which is still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Helene just two weeks ago. Milton, which reached Category 5 status on Oct. 7 with wind speeds in excess of 180 miles per hour, is forecast to have an even stronger impact on central Florida than Helene, with dangerous winds and a life-threatening storm surge that could devastate the region.

Our friends in Florida will need significant assistance to rebuild in the aftermath of a disaster of this magnitude. Many will be displaced from their homes; many more will need deliveries of critical necessities such as food, water, and first aid.

Donate to Embrace Relief’s Hurricane Milton Relief Fund today and help us provide these emergency supplies to victims. Every dollar you give will go towards helping our friends in Florida make it through this challenging time.
