#SomethingSignificant: Disaster Relief

We started our series #SomethingSignificant as a way to highlight less-traditional yet enjoyable ways to partake in making the world a better place. While we still want to use this series to provide you with those philanthropic outlets, we also want to be able to highlight events and places that do need our attention.

We started our series #SomethingSignificant as a way to highlight less-traditional yet enjoyable ways to partake in making the world a better place. While we still want to use this series to provide you with those philanthropic outlets, we also want to be able to highlight events and places that do need our attention.

True to our values at Something Social, we want to encourage you to do your part to help out with disaster relief.

For Las Vegas, please check out:

*Please note: At this time, they currently do not need any more blood donations. However, many people have encouraged the continuous donation of blood to ensure that the next time there is a crisis like this, there are enough donations.

If you live in the area, you can sign up to help with transportation for victims and their loved ones here.

Steve Sisolak, the Clark County Commission Chair from Las Vegas, set up a GoFundMe to collect monetary donations here.

Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada provide mental and physical medical help to those who cannot afford it. You can learn more and donate here.

For Puerto Rico and Mexico City, please check out:

Please see our list of resources here.

For Houston, please check out:

Please see our list of resources here.

For Miami, please check out:

Donate here to help support nonprofits addressing food security, vulnerable populations, stable housing and other immediate to long-term needs for residents.

Donate here to provide funds for marginalized communities in Florida.

For the fires in Napa, please check out:

If you live nearby and can provide shelter, AirBNB is helping pair open homes with victims who have been displaced. Learn more and volunteer here.

Local clothing store Love On Haight is offering free clothing for victims, as well as accepting clothing donations. Find out more here.

You can donate to the Napa Food Pantry here.

As we move forward from these disasters, we also want to take a moment to discuss other ways you can get involved outside of donating. We understand that budgets can be tight and you don’t always have surplus funds to help out. Think about organizing your own drive for your local community. You could collect blankets to give to the homeless or volunteer at a local food bank. Starting with small change in your community also makes a big difference.

If you want to take it further, get political. First step, make sure you’re voting for who you think is the best candidate in every election, including the primaries. Call your representatives to talk about issues that matter and make sure they are standing up for what their constituents want. If you’re not sure who they are, you can look it up here. Attend rallies and get together with your friends to discuss the things that matter to you. Do #SomethingSignificant each and every day, no matter how big, no matter how small.

Written by our Digital Specialist, Nora Henick.
