Many people have shown interest in volunteering to support our efforts in helping those affected by Hurricane Helene, and we greatly appreciate these offers of assistance. Currently, our trained Red Cross volunteers are on the ground throughout Central Florida and other impacted states, providing care, shelter, food, and comfort to those who have experienced devastating losses. As storms of this magnitude become more frequent, the need for volunteers continues to grow.
