SUMMARY: Gulfport is preparing to assist its sister city, Gulfport, Florida, which was severely affected by Hurricane Idalia. Mayor Billy Hughes emphasized the importance of helping small communities often overlooked after disasters. Previously supported after Hurricane Katrina, Gulfport aims to “pay it forward” through initiatives like “One Coast One Recovery.” Residents can donate essential supplies such as water, cleaning items, and canned goods at local fire departments. The city will communicate ongoing needs via its website and social media, facilitating continuous support efforts, including potential cooking crews for rescue workers and residents.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi organization, Comeback Coolers, is making a positive impact on Hurricane Helen victims by providing more than just basic necessities. Amid the devastation in the Southeast, they focus on uplifting spirits by delivering coolers filled with sports drinks, snacks, and encouraging messages. These donations aim to bring joy to those affected, especially children who may feel overlooked amid their parents‘ struggles. The effort extends to linemen who risk their lives during recovery efforts. As these coolers are distributed across affected states, the initiative fosters a sense of community and solidarity, emphasizing the importance of support beyond mere survival.
