NEW PORTY RICHEY, Fla. — A New Port Richey hurricane relief event is being held for residents hit hard by Hurricane Helene at Gulf High School.
It’s today from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the school, 5085 Madison St., New Port Richey
It will be for families from the greater New Port Richey area who need much-needed support and assistance after Hurricane Helene.
Families in need can receive packaged food, T-shirts, clothing, underwear, household cleaning products and hygiene items.
The event will feature a spaghetti meal, snacks and treats. Attendees can enjoy music, games, and a family-friendly atmosphere - a chance to unwind and connect with the community.
This community-wide event is a collaborative effort of Gulf High School, Gulf Middle School, Richey Elementary School, James Marlowe Elementary School, Cotee River Elementary School, Locke Early Education Center, Fox Hollow Elementary School and other local institutions to provide for the needs of families affected by Hurricane Helene.
A Hardee County grandmother is on trial this week for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died —the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care. ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila Nix just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.
