Our staff members made it safely through Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Those of us in our main office in Gainesville did not experience significant impacts, but our thoughts are with the people in Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, and other states who have been affected by these storms over the past three weeks.
If you are looking for ways to help contribute to relief efforts, see the suggestions below.
