Hurricane Helene & Milton
In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, Delta Chi encourages chapters to participate in disaster relief efforts. Whether donating funds, providing resources, or volunteering your time, your contribution will make a meaningful difference.

How to donate after a disaster
You can donate money or physical items after a disaster. Follow FEMA’s guidance on how to volunteer and donate. Send your questions about donations to FEMA at donations@fema.dhs.gov.
1. Donate money
A cash donation is the best way to help after a disaster. It gives volunteers the flexibility to buy needed supplies in bulk. Donate to a trusted organization working at the disaster site. Find a disaster relief organization that accepts financial contributions.
2. Donate items
If you want to donate items, give them through a disaster relief organization or the government. They publish lists of needed items. When you donate, follow this guidance:
- Only give items when they are requested.
- Only give items that are on the list of requested items.
- Do not send items directly to the affected area.
3. Donate blood
Blood donations are always needed, especially after a disaster. Find a blood donation center near you.
