Overview of 2 Former PUF Programs:
* Hurricane Katrina Relief: In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the Gulf Coast in the summer of 2005, PUF set up a relief fund to help the victims—“particularly the poor communities of color which were hit the hardest.” PUF also organized speaking events designed to educate the public on the crisis and mobilize support.
* Haiti Emergency Relief: Following the deadly September 2004 hurricane-induced floods in Northwest Haiti, PUF established an emergency fund to provide humanitarian relief and to inform the U.S. public about the crisis.
