Facebook adds fundraising option to its 'Safety Check' feature
With the addition of this feature, Facebook said: "People in the US will have the option to start a fundraiser from within Safety Check."
In its blog, Facebook said: "Following a crisis, one way people give and request help is through fundraising."
"To make this easier, we are introducing Fundraisers in Safety Check," the social networking site said.
Within Safety Check, people will be able to create or donate to a fundraiser for charitable and personal causes to help those in need, it said.
"Fundraising provides a way for people who are also outside of the crisis area to offer help. Fundraisers in Safety Check will start to roll out in the coming weeks in the US," read the Facebook blog.
Facebook said the move to expand Community Help feature will be available on desktop and for all crisis types where Safety Check is activated
