Many in our community are still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Ian, more than three years ago, as well as the historic storm surge caused by Hurricanes Helene & Milton last year.  

Now with the devastating impact from Hurricane Bubba, support for our Collier County community is needed more than ever. 

 Monetary donations are critical to allow the recovery process to begin and provide impacted residents with the support they need to start rebuilding their lives. 

 Your donation will not only provide immediate relief to those affected but to the nonprofits that support the victims in the aftermath of a crisis.

Together, we can help restore hope to those affected.

While monetary donations are our greatest need, we understand that some may wish to donate items instead. Disaster Ready Collier is here to help ensure your donated items reach individuals and households affected by the disaster.

To make sure your donation can be accepted, please fill out the in-kind donation inquiry form below. A representative from Disaster Ready Collier will contact you to help coordinate your donation or provide information on where items are being accepted. 

  We need your help!  

Volunteers are essential to our community’s recovery from Hurricane Bubba, and we welcome individuals and groups to assist in all phases of the recovery process. Whether it's debris removal, home cleanup, mass feeding, or helping community members navigate the recovery process, your support is invaluable.

However, to ensure the safety of those affected, the nonprofits involved, and you yourself, it’s critical that all volunteers register through the Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) hosted by the United Way of Collier and the Keys (UWCK) OR through Disaster Ready Collier before getting started. This process helps us coordinate efforts, ensure the right volunteers relate to the right needs and avoid duplication. 

Please note: If you sign up using the form that applies to you below, your form will be forwarded by a representative of Disaster Ready Collier County to the UWCK at which point you will be contacted regarding the next steps. For questions, please email XXXXXXXXXX.

We thank you for helping our community recover safely and effectively.
