Hurricane Ike has devastated the lives of thousands in the Greater Houston Area. They’ve lost their homes, their property, their businesses and their jobs.

The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund is the official relief fund established by Houston’s mayor, Bill White, to help fulfill unmet human needs for victims of Hurricane Ike in Houston and Harris and Galveston counties. The Fund is being administered by Albert Myres, senior vice president at Reliant Energy, with fundraising and distribution overseen by a special citizens advisory board. The Fund is now accepting donations and is assessing humanitarian needs. People are asked to mail donations to the below mailing address or donate online at this address.

The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund is modeled after the successful Katrina/Rita Fund, which was also managed for the region by Myres.

The Greater Houston Community Foundation will administer this fund at no cost, so 100% of all donations will go to where it is needed.  Please note that online credit card donations will be charged a 3% fee as assessed by the credit cards companies. Donors have the option of increasing their credit card donations to cover these fees.
 
The people of Houston are known for their generosity and spirit of helping others in need. And now, they need some of that same spirit and generosity from you. Please help.
