Between July and early September, Midwest Food Bank's Disaster Relief efforts brought aid to disaster-stricken communities in Texas, Georgia, and Florida.
The deliveries included:
- 7,240 food boxes across seven truckloads
- Five loads of water and sports drinks
- 4,032 cleaning kits in four truckloads to assist with post-disaster cleanup
Volunteers were crucial to this response, handling the loading and transportation of the relief.
Where and How We Helped:
- Texas: Received ten truckloads of relief to address severe flooding.
- Georgia: Four semi-loads went to help communities affected by flash floods.
- Florida: Two shipments provided water and cleaning kits after a tropical storm.
As of this writing, Hurricane Helene has just made landfall in Florida. Midwest Food Bank locations in Morton, IL, Georgia, and Florida are mobilizing their Disaster Relief efforts.
