Hurricane Ian relief drive now accepting donations

Remembering when Seminole County residents received much needed supplies from far and near after Hurricane Michael, a group of community volunteers has organized a Hurricane Ian Relief Drive and donations will be accepted for those in need in south Florida through Monday,  October 31.

Items needed include diapers, Pull-Ups, baby wipes, feminine products, hygiene products, laundry and dish soap, bleach, trash bags, sanitizing wipes, childrens clothing sizes 7-14, toys, games, markers and calculators. 

Drop off locations for donations are the former fire station facility on Woolfork Avenue next to Leon’s Cleaners from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the Seminole County Elementary and Middle-High Schools’ front offices from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.

All donations will be delivered to the Foundation for Lee County Schools to support students and education staff of Lee County, Florida. 

Monetary donations are also being solicited and can be made to the Foundation for Lee County Schools.
