Overview
In the wake of the two recent hurricanes that devastated Tampa Bay, the impact on the community is profound and immediate. With widespread evacuations and homes severely damaged, we at Rise Relief are mobilizing to provide essential aid. One of our board members and a committee member, along with their families, have been directly affected, highlighting the urgency and personal connection we feel to this crisis.
Why Water?
In the aftermath of a hurricane, access to clean drinking water becomes a critical need. The effects of heat exhaustion, dehydration, and lack of electricity can be life-threatening. In a region where temperatures soar, especially with power outages, the risk of heat-related illnesses escalates. Residents are struggling without access to fresh water, which is essential for hydration and basic sanitation.
Campaign Goals
1. Raise $5,000 to purchase and distribute clean drinking water to those affected in Tampa Bay.
2. Engage the Community by bringing together local businesses, schools, and organizations to participate in the relief effort.
3. Provide Immediate Relief by distributing water supplies to evacuation centers, shelters, and families in need.
