The Ryan Nece Foundation stands in support of the communities affected by Hurricane Idalia. We will strategically dedicate resources to improve the areas impacted. As you may know, our Student Service Program’s domestic service-learning trips have often benefited communities rebuilding from natural disasters, like those impacted by hurricanes Ian (Southwest Florida), Katrina (New Orleans), Irma (The Florida Keys), Michael (Panama City Beach), and Harvey (Houston). You can read more about these efforts on our blog.
How to Help
- The state of Florida has launched its Florida Disaster Fund to help Idalia-affected communities. It is part of the Volunteer Florida Foundation.
