Western Europe Flood Relief Fund

Thank you—we can’t say it enough! Because of your generosity, people struggling after catastrophic flooding across western Europe were able to receive meaningful support from trusted organizations in GlobalGiving’s nonprofit network.

The Western Europe Flood Relief Fund powered emergency grants to high-impact and vetted nonprofit organizations at the forefront of responding to this crisis. Here is a brief summary of the critical work you’ve supported:

• Aktion Deutschland Hilft e.V is leveraging its coalition of 15 local aid organizations and community groups across Germany. These coalition members have supported evacuations, distributed food, and hygiene kits, and provided counseling services in the disaster’s aftermath. 

• German Red Cross / Deutsches Rotes Kreuz is activating more than 3,500 volunteers across Germany after the floods. The nonprofit is continuing to provide critical emergency relief to communities through its local chapters. For example, through its local chapter of DRK-Landesverband Rheinland-Pfalz e.V, the organization provides emergency funding to families with children starting daycare and school given the massive disruptions of the flooding on the students’ lives. 

• The European Food Banks Federation is mobilizing its extensive network of local food bank members across Europe to provide financial support, direct technical assistance, and food packages to communities impacted by the flooding -- specifically in the eastern parts of Belgium. 

Your support of the GlobalGiving Western Europe Flood Relief Fund is advancing community-led recovery. It means flood victims received critical resources to help their community rebuild after the flooding.
