Florida's coastline cities have been hit by destructive 155 mph winds. They need your help.


Updates:

10/14/2018: Our response team of staff and volunteers have packed a truck full of non-perishable food and cleaning supplies, and taking it to Panama City for distribution. 


Hurricane Michael is the most powerful storm to hit the Florida Panhandle in nearly 50 years. 

Tens of thousands of fellow Americans will not be able to go back to their homes anytime soon. With your support, we want to ensure that the shelters are stocked up on clean drinking water, essential food supplies and hygiene products. 


Michael made landfall along the Florida Panhandle as a Category 5 storm on Wednesday afternoon and is pushing inland across the southeastern United States.

Mexico Beach, Florida, was hit with severe damage where the powerful, unprecedented storm made landfall. Panama City was also severally impacted. 

Wind gusts over 100 mph were common across during the height of the storm; power-lines were ripped, cars have been smashed together the and infrastructure is completely damaged. 

"A Category 4 hurricane has never struck that part of Florida," said AccuWeather Vice President of Forecasting and Graphics Operations Marshall Moss. "The coastline will be changed for decades."



What we are doing to Help: 

Penny Appeal USA is partnering with ISTABA in Tampa to collect essential items for the victims of Hurricane Michael in Panama City. All supplies will be delivered to distribution Centers in Panama City.

Please give what you can. With your small change, we want to make a big difference.
