Volunteers handed out hot meals to Hurricane Helene victims in Punta Gorda.

“We’re strong,” said community member Sherry Taft. “We’re strong as one, you know? When there’s a need, the community comes in and it’s evident. It’s clearly evident the community is here to back everybody and support everybody.”

A family in Charlotte County decided to give back after they saw the negative impacts Hurricane Helene had on so many people.

So, they made food and collected donations for those in need.

The family set up on the back patio of Winesett House in Punta Gorda Thursday night.
