The Volunteer Florida Website (https://www.volunteerflorida.org/serving-during-disasters/ ) offers the following methods for those who want to donate to help Hurricane Ian victims. Cash- Cash is the most flexible and effective form of donation. To donate to the Florida Disaster Fund, visit the website, www.volunteerflorida.org or text "DISASTER" ($10) or "DISASTER25" ($25) to 20222. Confirm - If not donating cash, confirm that there is a legitimate need before collecting items and material donations. Volunteers are also encouraged to affiliate with established organizations and ensure that they are needed before visiting impacted areas. Connect - Volunteers are a critical part of a well-coordinated disaster recovery effort. To volunteer, visit the website above and register on the volunteer database. Please be patient and do not go to Florida on your own to help- organizations will contact qualified volunteers as soon as possible.
