As the hurricane hits the Gulf Coast of Florida, Samaritan’s Purse is prepared to respond in Jesus’ Name.
Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida, on Wednesday, Oct. 9—unleashing powerful storm surge, torrential rain, and ferocious winds. The powerful Category 3 storm is pounding some communities that are still reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Helene less than two weeks ago.
Once the storm has passed, we will respond alongside the local church in Jesus’ Name.
Hurricane Relief Will Soon Resume in Florida
To ensure the safety of our volunteers and staff, Samaritan’s Purse has suspended all operations at our Helene relief locations in Perry and Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida. Work is scheduled to resume later this week.
Shortly after Helene swamped the Big Bend region of Florida in late September, Samaritan’s Purse deployed two Disaster Relief Units to the Sunshine State. Volunteer teams have since been serving devastated homeowners by clearing strewn debris, cutting fallen trees, and tarping damaged roofs—all the while sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
Please, join us in praying for those in the path of Hurricane Milton. May God provide peace and safety for those enduring this latest storm.
