“Floridians are unfortunately too familiar with the devastating impacts hurricanes and other major storms can have on our communities, our homes, and our loved ones,” Stephen Shelley, CEO of Farm Share said. “Preparing for these events is essential, but we recognize that these supplies can fall to the bottom of the to-do list when money is tight. That’s why, with the help of our generous sponsors, we’re doing what we can to help make sure Floridians have what they need to weather the storm.”
Hurricane preparedness supplies will be distributed on Saturday, June 15 from 9 a.m. until supplies run out at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds, 510 Fairground Pl, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
