Hurricane Ida ravaged Louisiana on Sunday, leaving over a million people without power. Aid For Ida is a campaign that has been set up to provide for the immediate personal needs of ten Shluchim and their families located in the greater New Orleans area. Double your donation and provide direct relief to the shluchim on the front lines of the storm.

Hurricane Ida came and went, leaving destruction in her path. Ten Shluchim and their families rode out the storm, maintaining their mission to cater to and care for their communities.

The natural disaster has left the shluchim (and millions of others) without power and has caused significant damage to their homes, compromising the safety of their families in the extreme. The outage is predicted to be a prolonged one, leaving the residents of greater New Orleans with a gaping hole of uncertainty ahead. We can help.

Within the first hours of losing power, the Shluchim foresaw that the food in their fridge and freezers wouldn’t last, and in true leadership fashion, they put it to good use, organizing community-wide barbecues (the only means of cooking currently possible), providing hot meals to hundreds. 

The Aid For Ida campaign aims to raise $50K with the goal of reassuring the Shluchim with the knowledge that they and their families will be cared for. And they, in turn, will continue to care for so many others. While the Shluchim focus on supporting their communities during these times you can help think about them, their families and their personal needs. Your donation today can help cover the following immediate needs.

All donations will cover the following:

1. Food and Water purchases until power is restored
2. Travel costs for the evacuation of the Shliuchim’s families
3. Temporary hotel and rental accommodation until power is restored
4. Damage mitigation so no additional damage is caused
5. Emergency post-hurricane supplies
6. Rosh Hashanah and other Tishrei Needs

A group of matchers has stepped in to double every donation, providing the essential and immediate relief needed on the ground. Visit Shluchim.fund/ida where every dollar you donate will become two! Your contribution will fund the purchase of generators, daily meals, and clean drinking water, along with providing the essential peace of mind the Shluchim and their families so urgently need.
