Dear Friends,

I hope this post finds you, and all those you hold dear, safe and secure. Hurricane Ian's devastation on our southern neighbors has been heartbreaking to see. And yet, I have been equally uplifted and encouraged seeing our community pull together to aid those who need it most.
We have all been on a journey since Hurricane Ian emerged in the Atlantic Ocean less than two weeks ago. For many, this journey will continue, possibly for years. We know from disasters in our recent history - Hurricane Irma and COVID-19 - that the fallout from a crisis can have devastating and lasting effects on our families, sometimes in unpredictable ways.

News media, governmental organizations, nonprofits, and utilities have risen to the occasion to communicate resources that might be useful. If you or someone you know has not been able to access the help they need, 211 is a free service that can connect you to information and resources in the community.
If you find yourself in the fortunate position of being able to help, you can make a difference for the 16 human service agencies on the Campus of Caring. We have gathered a list of needs and hurricane relief efforts for them below.
And below that, we've shared our five-day Hurricane Ian journey with you. I couldn't be more proud of the Glasser/Schoenbaum team, or more grateful for the partners on the Campus of Caring and beyond.
Thank you for all you do in this community.
