The Guardians of Liberty, Florida Chapter, responded to the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia by assisting the Florida National Guard in the distribution of Water and other critical supplies including MREs (meals ready to eat), clothes, and creature comforts (soap, Bibles, and more).
The leadership of our Florida Chapter had reached out to local authorities days before landfall and coordinated where and when our volunteers could show up to deliver the much-needed supplies after the Hurricane had made landfall.
Companies in the panhandle of Florida, however, took a different approach, joining forces with the Cajun Navy, and began running supplies in and out of flooded areas as well as evacuating those who were flooded.
As our relief efforts come to a close, the final report here is what we distributed to those hardest hit by Hurricane Idalia.
