It may take weeks or even months to put our beautiful state back together and every little bit will help. Whether you are on the east coast or the west coast, help will be needed in every county across Florida.

Both The United Way Miami, and Volunteer Florida have posted applications online to sign up for volunteer projects. MIAbites will be working closely with both organizations to help
