Donation Management Team Announced for Galveston
Galveston - Galveston Island survived Hurricane Ike, but the damage the storm left in its wake has devastated many islanders’ homes and businesses.

Generous offers of aid and assistance have poured in from around the state and the nation. City officials are busy coordinating relief efforts with local, state, and federal agencies. All volunteer teams, donation of tangible items such as water, gift cards, and cleaning supplies, as well as offers of donated services such as construction and roofing will be organized through the city’s central management team.

Effective tomorrow, Friday, September 26, anyone wanting to assist with the recovery of Galveston Island can contact Carolyn Cox, Assistant City Manager, City of Galveston. To reach the city’s donation management team, please make contact by phone or email:

Note from Ann:

The Galveston Island Humane Society is not to be confused with the Galveston County Animal Shelter!

It is strongly recommended that you call and speak to a someone physically located at the Galveston Island Humane Society before making donations, other than monetary one, to be sure that they are donations they will be able to accept.
