At Americares, we pride ourselves in being able to respond immediately after crisis strikes, and to stay on the ground to help deliver better health in the long term. But to do so, we rely on the ongoing support of our committed monthly donors, called Heroes for Health.
Volunteers from @Voya help @Americares prepare for the upcoming Atlantic #hurricaneseason by packing kits containing essential hygiene items—which are always needed in the aftermath of emergencies that displace families from their homes.
