Samsung Electronics America has announced its support for communities impacted by Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico and Hurricane Ian in Florida. The company has organized donations to Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disaster and crises, , Habitat for Humanity of Lee & Hendry Counties, a nonprofit housing organization, and Boys & Girls Club of Lee County, a youth organization providing after-school and summer programs.

Samsung will fuel Team Rubicon’s hurricane relief efforts with a monetary donation, and will support Habitat for Humanity of Lee & Hendry Counties with a product donation consisting of refrigerators, washing machines, and Boys and Girls Club of Lee County with tablets, all of which will assist as communities rebuild homes and learning centers following the massive storms.
