ABC11 Together highlights the strength of the human spirit, good deeds, community needs, and how our viewers can help
Thank you so much for your support as we join ABC and Disney to continue our "Day of Giving" to benefit those impacted by Hurricane Harvey! It kicked off Thursday on ABC11's Eyewitness News Mornings before handing the baton over to Good Morning America. The effort continues Friday as we raise donations for the Red Cross. Those dollars will go to those most impacted by this devastating storm.
So far, you've contributed $32,000, locally. Across the country, the ABC effort has raised $11.7 million.

Or, if you'd like to donate to Houston area food banks, the Feeding Texas website, which is a part of Feeding America, is funding directly the 5 food banks in or close to the affected areas to help get food and other supplies to those affected. You can find out more information at www.feedingtexas.org.
The Walt Disney Company and its owned ABC television station KTRK in Houston jointly announced a $1 million cash commitment to the American Red Cross in support of recovery efforts for communities affected by Hurricane Harvey.
