The destruction wrought by hurricanes in recent weeks - from Harvey and Irma to Maria - has caused suffering
and economic devastation. LIUNA members are responding with great generosity and even assisting with
rebuilding efforts. A contingent of New York members is now on its way to provide on the ground support to
LIUNA families in Puerto Rico. Members have been joining in volunteer efforts across the Southeast United
States to help those affected as well.

LIUNA has also set up funds to provide monetary assistance for all of these efforts. Details on the funds and
how to make a contribution are below.
