In the past several days, more than 300 volunteers have prepared more than 50,000 meals to distribute to vulnerable and impacted families pre and post Irma – and this is just the beginning!

Donation drop-off boxes are stationed in our CareerSource conference room. All items collected will be distributed to vulnerable and impacted families pre and post Irma.
