Become a Commuter Volunteer!
In these times of pandemic and restricted out of state travel, when we have a disaster in Florida we will need to rely on local volunteers to help with debris removal, tarping, mucking/gutting and more. Volunteers will drive to the worksite, After a disaster, a team of commuter volunteers will provide their own transportation to the work site and return home the same day.
