With Hurricane Idalia barreling toward Florida, the Truist Foundation is making a big donation to help those in the storm's path.
The foundation, a charity affiliated with the insurance company, will give $500,000 to the American Red Cross, Center for Disaster Philanthropy, and United Way to support relief efforts in the Gulf Coast and Southeastern Seaboard, per a press release.

The release notes that the money will go to "critical housing, health, and hunger-related needs."
