In a recovery effort after the devastating effects of Hurricane Helena, there are several different areas from Tampa to Manatee that are helping with food and water distribution today.
Here are some of those locations:
FOOD AND WATER ASSITANCE
Pasco County is opening two locations on the west side of the county to provide food and water to Hurricane Helene victims. These two Points of Distribution (POD) locations will ensure anyone displaced by the storm will have access to essential supplies.
