These relief efforts will connect families displaced by the devastating storm

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an immediate response to the widespread damage caused by Typhoon Halong across Western Alaska, Verizon announced a $25,000 donation to the American Red Cross, intended to support critical operations and aid residents facing displacement. Additionally, Verizon is contributing $9,000 to the Food Bank of Alaska, in anticipation of increased community need for the upcoming winter.

Beyond this financial contribution, Verizon is committing significant in-kind resources to meet the immediate communications needs of evacuees with a market value of over $20,000. This support includes the installation of free mobile device charger stations to residents currently staying at the shelters.

"On behalf of everyone at the American Red Cross, I would like to thank Verizon for your extraordinary generosity and swift action in helping Alaskans in need," said American Red Cross of Alaska CEO Tanguy Libbrecht.
