Taylor Swift Makes $5 Million Donation for Hurricanes Helene and Milton Relief
One organization thanked Swift for her generosity.


Taylor Swift has made a $5 million donation to help those impacted by the devastating hurricanes Helene and Milton in the American Southeast.
The charity Feeding America shared the news of Swift's donation on Instagram with the following message, signed by the organization's CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot.
"We're incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts," they wrote. "This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms. Together, we can make a real impact in supporting families as they navigate the challenges ahead. Thank you, Taylor, for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need."
The organization asked for further donations from those able to help, which you can make through Feeding America's website.
Hurricane Milton precipitated devastating floods in Florida.
Marie Claire also previously published a guide to helping those impacted by Helene, which outlines different ways you can contribute to relief efforts.
CNN reported Helene's death toll at 232 people as of Oct. 7, with casualties across six states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Milton moved across Florida overnight between Oct. 9 and 10, causing widespread power cuts and destructive floods, according to NPR. Fatalities have already been reported in St. Lucie County, reports CNN.
