USAA employs approximately 19,000 people in San Antonio.

After hurricanes Helene and Milton, San Antonio-based USAA and its members donated nearly $3 million to disaster relief organizations to assist with recovery, according to officials with the financial services giant.

Donations went to the American Red Cross, disaster relief non-profit Team Rubicon and World Central Kitchen, USAA officials said. The company made an initial $1 million donation after Helene, then gave an additional $500,000 to military aid societies to help military families affected by the storms.

Of the $3 million donated, USAA members kicked in nearly half, giving $1.4 million.

“We’ve seen the true power of the USAA family in the aftermath of hurricanes Helene and Milton,” CEO Wayne Peacock said in a public statement. “We’re grateful to our teammates who are standing tall for members, both with boots on the ground and through phone and digital, and to all our members who are helping to support families in need.”

USAA, one of the largest private employers in San Antonio, has received more than 80,000 insurance claims following the hurricanes, according to the company. The enterprise has 19,000 employees in the Alamo City.
