On October 10, 2024, Reuters reported that Taylor Swift donated $5 million to Feeding America for relief following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Feeding America said the contribution would help provide food, clean water and supplies to people affected by the storms.
The gift was one part of a wider response that included food banks, volunteers, businesses and public figures. Feeding America’s network later described the scale of damage to partner organizations and the logistics required to keep food moving while facilities and infrastructure were disrupted.
The organization’s reporting is important context: disaster needs continue after public attention moves on. The network’s October 30 update described ongoing food, water and infrastructure needs and explained how supporters could find local food banks or the official disaster relief fund.
