"After Irma, I didn't know where to start. My neighbor came by with a tarp and helped me cover my roof. Then LCS brought water and hot meals. It reminded me that we're all in this together. Now I volunteer so I can be there for someone else."
- Maria, Coral Bay resident
"I signed up as a volunteer thinking I'd just hand out supplies. Instead, I learned First Aid, got my CERT certification, and met amazing people. When the next storm comes, I know exactly what to do β and I know I'm not facing it alone."
- Thecla, LCS Standby Go Team member
