UPDATED 10/11/16: Although Hurricane Matthew has dissipated, it has left as many as 1,000 dead in Haiti and 34 confirmed deaths in the southeastern United States. Flooding, major power outages, and destroyed and uninhabitable homes continue to impact the coast.

UPDATED 10/5/16: After leaving Haiti in complete destruction, Hurricane Matthew has hurtled toward the Bahamas. The deadly hurricane has already killed 10 people across Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the storm has become stronger with intense winds and rains. Its path is carving toward the U.S. and Florida is bracing for its landfall in the next few days.

Aid organizations are mobilizing relief efforts, and the following Classy partners need support to ensure they can deliver resources to the people who need them most.
