Operation Blessing has had decades of experience with hurricane relief. Featured below are videos from just a few of our hurricane relief initiatives. These videos depict efforts in the Southeast, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean.
Your donations and volunteer work provide relief for hurricane victims and have a big impact on areas hit by disasters. Your support allows us to respond quickly to regions impacted by storm surge, high winds, and the terrible destruction unleashed by hurricanes.
When we begin a hurricane relief effort, we share videos showing what is being done to prepare and provide hurricane relief for an area in the path of a storm. One way to see our hurricane relief and preparation efforts is to visit our Youtube Channel, featuring scores of videos from hurricane relief and recovery efforts.

Our Hurricane Videos Show the Immensity of Relief Needed
Following a hurricane, victims need comprehensive assistance. You will notice in our videos just how much manpower goes into procuring, housing, shipping, and distributing relief aid after a storm. It can involve food, water, hygiene items, repair and cleaning supplies and more to meet the needs of a community trying to recover after a hurricane. These relief efforts require volunteers, capital, supplies, and of course a strong organization to get these resources to the people who need them.
