Hurricane Relief
When disaster strikes, Rotary is here to help. Hurricane recovery efforts are well underway with Rotary Clubs answering the call in their communities and beyond. Rotary District 6890, which includes Rotary Clubs in Hillsborough, Hardee, Highlands and Polk counties, is working in partnership with Crisis Cleanup and Disaster Aid USA to aid those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
In addition, a special disaster fund has been set up for those in Florida. To donate to Rotary’s efforts all over the state of Florida or to volunteer, visit www.rotaryfl.org. Students can earn service hours, but they must be accompanied by a parent if under the age of 18 (only their parents need to register through the website). Rotary’s members are people of action ready to serve. Why not serve with it?
