Helping those in the eye of the storm!
We are a 501-c3 non-profit organization whose main purpose is to help communities who have been hit by hurricanes on the Gulf Coast. Our goal is to have trucks loaded and ready to go so that within 24 hours of local officials giving thumbs up for re-entry after a disaster, we can be there.
We provide canned goods, water, baby supplies, dry goods, and cleaning supplies to victims of hurricanes.
Wherever the eye of the storm passes, we will be there with relief.
So many times, smaller coastal communities are the hardest hit and get the least amount of attention from the media. It will often take longer for relief to make it to these areas as well. Founders Ben and Erin Akey are residents and natives of the Gulf Coast and know the area and know it's people and their needs.
We feel that the Gulf Coast can band together as neighbors in order to be prepared all year long. Then, when a disaster hits, no matter where along the Gulf Coast, we can take care of our neighbors and ourselves and not have to wait for help.
Please help us help those in the eye right now. You never know when your community could be next.

We rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses in order to sustain our program. If one person in every Gulf Coast neighborhood held a food drive or fundraiser, the number of families we could help in their time of crisis would be amazing.
