Helping Our Neighbors Rebuild: The Disaster Fund’s Impact

At United Way of St. Johns and Putnam Counties, we believe that community is defined by how we show up for one another in times of crisis. When hurricanes Milton and Helene tore through our region, they did more than damage homes and property—they disrupted lives, stripped away stability, and left many of our most vulnerable neighbors facing uncertainty and fear.
