Hurricane Harvey has
ravished the greater Houston area and surrounding communities in Texas. Relief
efforts have already begun with the help of donations. Many organizations are
stepping up and donating large sums of money toward the relief efforts. One of
the most recent and notable pledges has come from Facebook.
In a recent post,
Facebooks CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated:
"Over the past few days, thousands of you have
asked for help and offered help on Facebook to people who have been affected by
Hurricane Harvey using Safety Check and Community Help. Now we want to give
everyone another way to make a difference."
Zuckerberg pledged
that Facebook will match the donations up to $1 million on the site. Finishing
his post by saying:
“Now, we want to give everyone another way to make a
difference. It may take years for the community to fully recover, but together
with the CDP, we can help families and businesses get back on their feet.”
