Hurricane Ian
Unity in Disaster, Inc had the pleasure of being a blessing to families in need.
Our 2023 focus has been to support special needs and underserved communities affected by hurricane Ian. We provided $1,000 Home Depot gift cards for 3 families on Saturday 12/2/2023 with our volunteer staff. Last month we provided $800.00 to 7 families that were unable to repair hurricane related flood and wind damage.
We will provide support for 2 additional homes with repairs this month. The first quarter of 2024, we will help 10 additional families in surrounding counties through case management committee's . We would like to thank our donors GlobalGiving who have provided assistance for this community impact project (12/13/2023).
