Delta Air Lines strengthens its commitment to disaster relief by donating $500,000 to the American Red Cross. This contribution specifically supports communities affected by Hurricane Helene. Previously, Delta pledged $1 million to the Annual Disaster Giving Program, highlighting its dedication to humanitarian causes.
Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, caused widespread destruction across the Southeastern United States. Ten states, including Florida’s Big Bend Region, experienced the most severe damage. The storm displaced many families and caused significant loss of life, while homes, businesses, and infrastructure were heavily damaged. Delta Air Lines quickly responded by providing substantial financial support to meet the needs of these communities. The Red Cross opened more than 140 shelters to deliver food, water, and medical care.
Delta’s disaster relief efforts extend beyond financial contributions. The airline has worked with the Red Cross for years, supporting blood drives and other charitable activities. Additionally, Delta’s SkyWish program allows SkyMiles members to donate air miles to relief organizations. These donations help volunteers and families travel to disaster-affected areas, amplifying Delta’s impact.
As Hurricane Helene continues to affect several regions, Delta Air Lines and the aviation industry remain key players in providing support. Other airlines have also joined the relief efforts, but Delta’s financial contributions and customer loyalty programs stand out. This commitment helps communities recover from the devastation.
