La Familia de Broward Una herramienta útil para las necesidades de las familias hispanas
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) and United HomeCare are partnering to distribute hurricane preparedness meal kits to more than 475 seniors across Miami-Dade County on Thursday, June 20. With the start of what is anticipated to be an above average storm season, this effort will help provide vital supplies to seniors in the communities FPL serves.
Volunteers from FPL and United HomeCare will help distribute the kits. The hurricane preparedness kits include three days of shelf-stable food, water and snacks for seniors who may not be able to leave their homes or receive home-delivered meals after a storm impacts the area. The kits also include a storm preparedness guide that provides resources for seniors.

The organization aims to enhance independence, well-being, and overall quality of life by offering personal care, nursing care, physical therapy, nutrition services, counseling, family caregiver support, and more.
