Relief can't wait.
People for Relief helps people through disaster and hardship, and stands behind the organizations that help them, all year.
Give nowHere all year.
Storms, floods and fires come in every season, and so does hardship. For more than ten years, People for Relief has helped people through the hardest weeks of their lives, and helped the organizations standing beside them.

Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. People for Relief is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. You'll get a receipt by email for every gift, including each monthly gift, to keep for your records.
Do you only help after big disasters?
No. Disasters are when the most people need help at once, but hardship doesn't stop between storms. We help all year, through the organizations serving people every day.
Who actually helps people on the ground?
Local organizations that already know the community: shelters, food pantries, cleanup crews and neighborhood groups. People for Relief stands behind them so they can help more people.
