A few days after Hurricane Helene’s historic landfall, four members of the College of Central Florida chapter of Association of Florida Colleges (AFC) took two vans full of disaster relief supplies to the hard-hit coastal community of Cedar Key, just 30 miles from CF’s Jack Wilkinson Levy Campus in nearby Chiefland. After delivering the supplies, the executive board members found themselves in the right place at the right time: assistance crews in Cedar Key had a surplus of donated clothing, which they hoped to share with people in need just down the coast in Yankeetown, but no way to get the items there. The team didn’t hesitate to deliver the clothing to grateful staff at Yankeetown School.
