Although Florida was spared from the worst of hurricane #Dorian, we know that our neighbors in the Bahamas bore the brunt of the storm.
Today, I’m proud to announce our state is partnering with @insideFPL to assist those in need in the Bahamas by donating 590,000 bottles of water.
Thanks to the generous contributions of Floridians, corporations and non-profits, we’re also proud to highlight over $11 million in donations to assist in recovery efforts for the Bahamas.
