MIAMI REALTORS® is incredibly grateful that Hurricane Ian spared widespread damage to the Miami metro area; however, we are equally saddened by the unimaginable suffering of our fellow Floridians.
Volunteers Needed to Clean – If you would like to volunteer with hurricane cleanup efforts for the west coast of Florida, please call 1-800-451-1954 or visit crisiscleanup.org. JTHS-MIAMI President Brad Westover is again coordinating major cleanup efforts. Teams of 10-14 people will be organized and make the trip every Saturday and Sunday for 5-6 weeks, starting next weekend. The service is free to recipients in need.
