With the effects of Hurricane Helene still felt in east Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, another hurricane was the last thing needed. However, Hurricane Milton devastated Florida recently. It wrecked the west coast and traveled across the state, dumping rain and gusting winds for hours. Now, many celebrities are coming together for benefit concerts and donations, helping where they can. Recently, Taylor Swift, the richest female artist in the world right now, donated a staggering amount to hurricane relief.
Swift donated $5 million to Feeding America, a non-profit food bank organization. Feeding America is currently working in the devastated areas, bringing residents food, water, and emergency supplies. The organization posted about Swift’s donation on social media.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts,” they said in a statement by CEO Claire Babineax-Fontenot. “This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms.”
