Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene was the third hurricane in 13 months to hit Florida’s Big Bend, Hurricane Milton approaches the Gulf Coast bringing storm surge, rain, and wind to an already storm battered state. While the Red Cross continues to respond to Helene’s wake across ten states, they are also mobilizing volunteers and resources to prepare for Milton. This type of continuous response is becoming the norm and while the Red Cross is poised to handle it, more help is needed. Local Capital Area Florida Board Members and Volunteers have been committed to providing hope and relief in our area from the tornadoes in May to Hurricanes Debby and Helene, and countless disasters before and between. Through the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors, the Red Cross will continue to be there for our neighbors on what could be their darkest day. Check out this video to see some of our local community members, Kyndra Light and Joe Boals, in action: https://vimeo.com/1013848011/67409e9dc7?share=copy.
Why I joined the Chamber
“The Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce has always been here serving the business community. I think it’s important for business owners and managers in Tallahassee to really look at all of the new services the Chamber is providing that especially new businesses. The Business Advocacy Committee over the last few years has lead the charge on every major public policy issue the community has faced. With the BAC’s efforts, the business community is on the front end of discussions helping to lead direction and provide facts instead of waiting for things to happen. We owe the Chamber a lot of kudos for their proactive focus.”
