Our neighboring metropolis, Houston, suffered intense damage due to Hurricane Harvey. Thousands of people are misplaced, homes are destroyed, and life seems to be at a standstill. However, America has stepped up to help the people affected by Hurricane Harvey, and Skate World wants to do the same.

Take a look at four ways we can join forces to help the relief efforts:

Donate Money

Donating money is extremely helpful for organizations during a time of crisis. They are able to use the money to buy essential items immediately. Remember when donating money to make sure the organization is credible. You can view a list of established, legitimate organizations here.

Donate Food

Local food banks are distributing food to those in need, but the food supply is running low. Non-perishable food items are needed such as cereal bars, power bars, beef jerky, applesauce, crackers, etc.

Donate Blood

Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey injured many people. The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center needs over 2,000 units of blood, specifically O positive and O negative, to aid those who lost blood. Donating blood is donating life. Find a blood drive near you.

Donate Supplies

Shelters need your donations to help the people of Houston. Clothes of all sizes will help clothe those affected by the storm since many left their homes with nothing but the shirt on their back. Toys such as puzzles or books are greatly appreciated for the many kids who are in shelters and need to be preoccupied.

Because of the unstable situation in Houston and the overabundance of standing water, it is vital that rescue and relief efforts are left to trained professionals. However, with your donation, you are contributing greatly!
