Many Floridians across the state are left cleaning up the devastating damage Hurricane Milton left behind. For those wanting to help, ABC Action News has compiled a list of ways to donate or volunteer in your community.
You can also donate directly to our ABC Action News Gives Hurricane Relief Fund. More volunteer opportunities can be found at World Central Kitchen, One More Child and Volunteer Florida.
This list will be updated.
