Today, You Can Give Help and Hope to Hurricane Helene Survivors.
Audacy is partnering with The Salvation Army to aid communities devastated by Hurricane Helene. Your donation will fund immediate emergency assistance, food and water supplies, emotional and spiritual support, and long-term recovery services for survivors.
100% of your gift goes directly to disaster relief. The Salvation Army NEVER applies an administrative fee to any disaster gift. If disaster donations exceed identified needs, excess funds will be restricted to support future disaster services.
