News: GEM helps Tampa residents find relief after Helene, Milton 

TAMPA, FLGlobal Empowerment Mission (GEM) is one organization stepping up to help local Tampa residents recover after hurricanes Helene and Milton. 

On Friday, more than 60 semi-trucks went around providing food, water, pet kits in Hillsborough, Sarasota, Taylor, and Levy counties, where residents are still facing power outages and displacement, according to an X post from Global Empowerment Mission and a report from WHSV. 

The organization works to provide a wide range of materials that include drywall, doors, and mattresses. 

If you are a Tampa resident and are in need of some everyday items, you, too, can pick up essential supplies like diapers and baby formula, get a free meal, get help with FEMA claims, and find other valuable resources by attending CDC of Tampa’s “Together We Thrive” event at 1907 East Hillsborough Avenue. Doors will be open until 6 p.m. today, October 22nd, according to WFLA.
