ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A lot of people are still hurting after Hurricane Milton and organizations like Positive Impact are helping to feed those in need.
They have extended their hours to meet the increased demand after the storm.
On top of their regular grocery distribution events every Saturday, they are holding several events throughout the week, even after their building sustained damage.
Hurricane Helene and Milton may be gone, but the damage is still here, several people are left without homes.

“I’m very fragile, basically, our home was flooded during Helene. Right now, it’s gutted and everything is very overwhelming trying to figure out what to do,” said Beth Cole, a volunteer with Positive Impact.
Many are left without food, so Positive Impact volunteers are working overtime to try and fill the gap.
“I work for the state, and we only get paid once a month, so I don’t get paid until the end of the month and I’m thankful for this service, so I can have some food to replace what I had to throw out because of the storm,” said Angela Daughtry, who went to the food distribution event.
