Local Relief Expands Disaster Recovery Efforts With “One App, One Community” Fundraising Campaign
Local Relief, a nonprofit organization dedicated to disaster recovery, has launched a new fundraising initiative called #OneAppOneCommunity. The campaign invites individuals to contribute as little as $1, with a collective goal of raising $1.8 million to expand the group’s disaster response and recovery efforts.
Founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, Local Relief was created to connect residents with reliable resources when they need them most. The organization emphasizes that while many prepare before a storm, few are equipped to handle the challenges of recovery.
The Local Relief app serves as a central hub for disaster survivors, providing:
Free resources and recovery help
Local groups to find and share updates
Organizations offering support services
Tips and vital information during emergencies
The platform is available free of charge and aims to keep communities connected and safe during times of crisis. Supporters of the campaign have highlighted its grassroots approach, describing it as a way for neighbors to support one another when disasters strike.
The #OneAppOneCommunity campaign underscores Local Relief’s vision of making recovery tools accessible to all residents, regardless of location or financial means. More information, including ways to donate, can be found at local-relief-inc.networkforgood.com.
