We Got By With A Little Help From Our (Journalist) Friends
When you’re in the business of helping people, there never seem to be enough hours in the day. This has been especially true in recent years, when several devastating hurricanes (not to mention a collection of tornadoes, floods and wildfires) have kept ALAN even busier than usual.
Faced with a choice between using our time to do things like arrange another urgent shipment or keeping our messaging up-to-date, we’ve chosen Door Number One. That’s why you won’t find a huge number of news releases on this page.
Even so, the word about ALAN has still managed to get out, thanks to the many media allies who have carried positive stories like the ones that are also featured below. Their efforts have played a key role in helping us raise awareness about everything from urgent needs to requests for volunteers and donations, and we are supremely grateful for their coverage.

Peterson Foundation Makes Sustainer-Level Donation To Support Hurricane Milton Relief
Lakeland, FL. – The American Logistics Aid Network announced today that the Peterson Foundation has donated $75,000 to support ALAN’s Hurricane Milton relief efforts.
“Hurricane Milton affected communities that were still reeling from Hurricane Helene’s impact less than two weeks earlier,” said ALAN Executive Director Kathy Fulton. “ALAN remains mobilized to support both short- and long-term relief efforts for communities recovering from both of these storms, and thanks to the Peterson Foundation’s incredible financial gift, we’re now equipped to provide critical logistics assistance to survivors for months, and years, to come.”
The Peterson Foundation’s donation will support ALAN’s response and recovery operations in Florida. It will ensure ALAN can help transport, store, and distribute urgent needs like food, water, and medicine, as well as materials needed to help communities repair and rebuild.
