DUNEDIN STRONG!!!!

Posted on by

Hello Dunedin Community:

The City is making an effort to connect volunteer organizations with our residents in need post-storm (please see attached graphic).  Please complete the form below if your organization can collect or call on volunteers.  We are also identifying those residents in need.  Once we have noted your interest and identified specific resident needs, we will reach out to see how and when you can help.  We know several residents cannot move out flood-damaged items from their homes, so the immediate volunteer work will involve cleaning debris and removing damaged materials.

·         Dunedin Strong Volunteer and Relief Form

If you have any questions about this program, please call 727-298-3011.  While we are reaching out to as many organizations as possible, please feel free to advance this email and message to other organizations you may work with or for that are interested in helping.
