Federal Funding Approved, and FEMA Disaster Assistance Teams Responding to Community

Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster. Federal funding is also available to state, tribal, and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work.

Residents and business owners who sustained losses in the designated areas can begin applying for assistance at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, or by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362), or by using the FEMA App. Anyone using a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, can give FEMA the number for that service.

FEMA Disaster Assistance Teams are in the community's hardest-hit areas going door-to-door to assess and register community members for resources. These teams will be wearing neon FEMA vests. When in doubt, ask for authentication. We encourage our community to stay safe while getting the resources they need.

Whether you realize it or not, hearing aids hold a substantial amount of power. These small, yet incredible devices make big things possible for people every day.

Hearing aids can improve a person’s cognitive abilities, communication skills and in essence help people live a safer and healthier life.

Although millions of individuals could benefit from hearing aids, many people are not able to afford them due to the rising costs. Thanks to your donations, the Hearing Aid Project is able to eliminate the financial barriers that hold many people back from the help they need.

Regardless of the hearing aid shape, size, type or age, the parts of a used hearing aid can be used to repair and improve the functionality of others. Every donation can and will make a difference in the life of someone who needs it.

If you are interested in donating hearing aids to assist the Hearing Aid Project, you may contact one of our Sarasota representatives and arrange to drop off your donation.

Please call: Carol at 941-915-4816 to arrange drop off or pick up.

The hearing aids and and supplies will be sent to the National Hearing Aid Project. They will send a tax receipt to you. This information will be kept in their records and to ensure you receive your thank you letter. Please be advised that due to our 501(c)(3) tax exemption status, we cannot determine the value of the aids. Your tax preparer can assist you, or you can find tips under In-Kind Contributions on the IRS website.

SOME SOUNDS ARE TOO IMPORTANT TO MISS
