WORLD RENEW TO HELP MONROE COUNTY’S LONG TERM RECOVERY GROUP MATCH HURRICANE IRMA SURVIVORS’ UNMET NEEDS WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES

MONROE COUNTY, FL – The Monroe County Long Term Recovery Group has invited World Renew Disaster Response Services, also known as “The Green Shirts,” into the Keys to meet with people who still are recovering from Hurricane Irma and need financial, emotional and/or household help.

World Renew Green Shirt volunteers meet with individuals to gather data and prioritize a person’s needs so that the Monroe County Long Term Recovery Group can connect the individual with the best available resources.

For people who need help, World Renew will be hosting walk-in centers at three locations in late March and April:

Upper Keys: Coral Isles Church, 90001 Overseas Highway in Tavernier and

Middle Keys: Marathon Community United Methodist Church, 3010 Overseas Highway, Marathon

Lower Keys: Key West United Methodist Church, 600 Eaton Street, Key West

World Renew volunteers also will be working door-to-door in some Irma affected areas between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the end of March and April. The volunteers will be wearing dark green shirts and carrying identification.

The Long Term Recovery Group, Monroe County, FL (LTRG Monroe Co. FL) was established in early 2018 to create an organized response from the local nonprofit social services and the faith-based community to respond to disasters impacting Monroe County.

Many Long Term Recovery Groups have formed across the state of Florida and country to help communities respond to disasters specifically impacting their local area.  Following the trusted model developed from decades of experience, the LTRG Monroe Co. FL will represent our local community’s needs following Hurricane Irma and develop a recovery plan and funding to meet the needs of storm victims.
