09 Oct Hurricane Milton

Hello friends,

With Hurricane Milton heading our way, we’ve made the careful decision to temporarily close the Ronald McDonald House as a precaution. Fortunately, most of our families have been discharged from the hospital, and the remaining three families are local with safe places to go. We are confident in this plan and are focused on preparing the House so that we can reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.

Please remember, there is no need to panic—stay calm and make use of the helpful resources below to guide you through the storm:

Lee County Hurricane Resources: This includes updates and information about Milton, as well as recovery information regarding Helene, operational adjustments, emergency alert tools, and more.

Lee Health Emergency Preparedness Resources: This includes evacuation maps, shelter information, emergency numbers, and more.

Our thoughts are with you all, and we send our heartfelt wishes for everyone’s safety as we weather this storm together. Stay safe, and we’ll keep you updated. We got this! #FloridaStrong 💪💕

Sincerely,

Your friends at RMHC SWFL
