Businesses and celebrities are making commitments to assist the Bahamas and organizations are asking the public to help with the relief efforts.
The Red Cross estimates 76,000 people in the Bahamas have been affected by Hurricane Dorian. Many reside on the battered Abaco Islands and the island of Grand Bahama.
Additionally, Sandals Foundation delivered 30,240 bottles of water on Sept. 3 to the northern Bahamian islands in partnership with the Bahamas Hotel Tourism Association, HeadKnowles and Odyssey Aviation Bahamas. "We are also presently packing a container of in-kind donations valued at $150,000 U.S. dollars of first response items such as chainsaws, generators, flashlights, tarp holdings, water coolers, energy sports drinks and cleaning supplies," the spokesperson said via email.
Carnival Corporation announced a partnership with Tropical Shipping and NEMA to collect NEMA-approved food and supplies from several Florida counties, including Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, to deliver to the ravaged Caribbean nation. On Facebook, financial guru Suze Orman said she was working with the Discovery Land Company Foundation's Abaco Relief Fund.
