From the news and social media it is seen that so many people affected and unaffected by the storm, have come together to help and support each other. Many organizations have planned a food drive, donations and many other charities for the hurricane.

Social media has also been a big aspect in the recovery from the hurricane. On many platforms like Instagram and TikTok people have created “Gofundsmes” and other charities that accept money donations. Some people have even gone above and beyond and opened up their homes to ones without a good living environment. One organization that is helping with hurricane relief is Second Harvest food bank in Central Florida. They are collecting all non tangible items.
