Hurricane Milton: Here’s where to volunteer in Tampa Bay

Between Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, local Food Not Bombs chapters, Florida For Change and larger entities like the Salvation Army, there are many places that offer support for victims of Hurricanes Milton and Helene.

But many of the same organizations offer chances for folks who got lucky in the storm—or got help picking themselves up—a chance to pitch in.

Here’s a starter list. Please email rroa@cltampa.com with details about your hurricane relief volunteer opportunities.

• The City of St. Petersburg is encouraging folks to volunteer by signing up on volunteerflorida.org
• City of Tampa has its own sign up portal for anyone looking to take part in post-hurricane relief efforts.
• Florida for Change has also rapidly activated to get chainsaws and other labor to homes and families in need (reach out via @floridaforchange on Instagram to sign up)
