FORMULA NEEDED - The need for supplies grows every day for the hardest-hit communities. Families with infants are in an especially difficult situation. Baby products are in short supply, and the need is dire.

“Families have lost everything,” said Cathy Timuta, CEO of the Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions.

“It’s not like some people can just easily drive to the grocery store. They don’t have vehicles now. Their vehicles were destroyed. It’s definitely very hard right now,” said Melanie Black, Associate Executive Director of Healthy Start Coalition of Southwest Florida. “That mixed with power outages and people losing all of their food, women who were breastfeeding lost all of their breast milk because of the power outages,” said Black.
