DISASTER RELIEF UPDATE
I continue to thank all the people and firms involved in giving their time, money and items to the Hurricane Michael relief effort.
Through the generosity of AIA Components all over the country, $12,264 in cash and a plethora of goods and supplies has been donated to AIA Florida. The goods and supplies included boxes and boxes of clothes, food, cleaning supplies, electrical equipment, flashlights, tools, baby products, cooking supplies, water, dog and cat food and so much more. The $12,264 was divided between AIA Florida Northwest and AIA Tallahassee. As present needs are communicated to us, goods are purchased and taken to those counties. Below are some of the trips that have been made to date:
