Volunteer Florida Promotes Donations to the Florida Disaster Fund
to Support Floridians Affected by Hurricane Michael

Oct. 12, 2018 – TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Volunteer Florida, the state's lead agency for mobilizing volunteers and coordinating donations before, during and after disasters, is promoting donations to the Florida Disaster Fund to support the thousands of Floridians affected by Hurricane Michael. 

The Florida Disaster Fund is Florida's private fund established to assist statewide communities as they recover during times of emergency. In partnership with the public sector, private sector and other non-governmental organizations, Volunteer Florida distributes the Florida Disaster Fund to voluntary organizations, such as the Salvation Army and Florida Baptist Disaster Relief, that are actively engaged in food delivery and repairing and rebuilding homes, while offering financial assistance and other recovery-related services. 

"Right now, so many people are watching the news, seeing the devastation caused by Hurricane Michael and asking what they can do," said David Mica, Jr., CEO of Volunteer Florida. "This is what they can do – donate to the Florida Disaster Fund and provide both immediate relief and long-term recovery for their friends, neighbors and affected Floridians."
