Support Immokalee

The Immokalee community, home to the College of Medicine Health Education Site, was among the hardest hit by Hurricane Irma earlier this month. To help those impacted, the College of Medicine main campus collected goods to deliver to Immokalee over the weekend. The college is still encouraging people to consider making monetary donations to help the cause in one of three ways:

• Make tax-deductible donation checks payable to either “Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida Foundation" or “Redlands Christian Migrant Association” (the largest social services agency in the area). Mail the check to Dr. Elena Reyes, 1441 Heritage Rd., Immokalee, FL 34142.
• Donations can also be made to the Redlands Christian Migrant Association through their website at www.rcma.net.
• Those who use Venmo (a free, secure and useful app for your phone that you can link to your credit/debit card or bank account) can donate to Immokalee Hurricane Irma Relief: @Immokalee-Relief.
