Taylor Swift has made a significant donation to help those affected by hurricanes Milton and Helene.
On Wednesday, Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot said in a statement posted to the organization’s Instagram page that they are “incredibly grateful” for the superstar’s $5 million donation toward relief efforts. hurricanes.
“This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms,” the statement said. “Together, we can make a real impact in supporting families as they face the challenges ahead.”
Babineaux-Fontenot went on to thank Swift for “standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need.”
The donation comes as Hurricane Milton heads toward Florida’s Gulf Coast, where it is expected to make landfall Wednesday night in what many meteorologists predict could be one of the most destructive storms on record in that area.
Just two weeks ago, Helene made landfall in Florida as a deadly Category 4 hurricane. The storm carved a 500-mile path of destruction across six states, causing catastrophic flooding and leaving more than 230 people dead in its wake.
Helene was the second-deadliest hurricane to hit the continental US in the last 50 years, behind Hurricane Katrina nearly 20 years ago.
Swift joins figures like country legend Dolly Parton in contributing to the hurricane relief effort.
Parton announced Friday that she, along with her companies Dollywood Parks & Resorts, The Dollywood Foundation, Dolly Parton’s Stampede and Pirates Voyage, is partnering with Walmart to provide flood relief in the Appalachian region.
He also pledged a personal donation of $1 million to the Mountain Ways Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to providing immediate assistance to victims of the Helene floods. Several of Parton’s aforementioned companies are combining their resources to match her donation to Mountain Ways with an additional $1 million contribution.
