Help people affected by Hurricane Ian - Urgent Relief

 

 

While we are so very grateful to have been spared the worst of Ian’s wrath, we are all aware of the devastation just south of us.

In addition to our local efforts, Chabad-Lubavitch throughout Florida are assisting thousands in need at this critical time with; hot meals, food, shelter, supplies, generators, support and funds.

Major community wide relief efforts are underway in Fort Meyers, Cape Coral, Naples/Marco, Bonita, Punta Gorda, Sarasota and Orlando .

We are in touch with our Chabad colleagues in the major effected areas coordinating these efforts.

To help support this state-wide critical Ian relief efforts, please donate generously now: ChabadSP.com/Ian.

All proceeds will be contributed directly to those in need.

We've adopted Punta Gorda and Charlotte County as our “sister city” for relief efforts, as early signs point to catastrophic loss of life, and homes.

Rabbi Simon and Shaina Jacobson are dear friends of ours and they've shared early reports from their communities.
