Hurricane Milton Recovery
In a post-Hurricane Milton Wellness Survey conducted by United Way of Collier and the Keys, 1,701 responses over three days revealed food as the most urgent need, with household goods also among the top five. The survey, shared via text and email with Collier County residents likely in need, helped identify priority areas. View the full survey results and a map of response locations HERE. In response, 304 applications were approved by UWCK, providing $30,400 worth of gift cards to help 918 people, thanks to Mrs. Ellen Vanderburg’s $100,000 matching donation.
