GAINESVILLE, Fla.— Florida Farm Bureau Federation has activated its Hurricane Helene Relief Fund to support farmers and ranchers who have suffered agricultural loss due to Hurricane Helene.

Florida Farm Bureau Women’s Fund
Memo: Hurricane Helene Relief Fund for Agriculture
P.O. Box 147030
Gainesville, FL 32614
“The relief provided by our Fund for Agriculture will not make any farmer or rancher whole,” said Jaime Jerrels, Senior Director of Policy and Outreach for Florida Farm Bureau Federation. “Instead, we hope that it will give them hope and show them that Florida Farm Bureau Federation, and our members, care about them and their families. We are all tied to agriculture.”
Farmers and ranchers who have suffered agricultural loss due to Hurricane Helene can apply for relief by completing an online application. The deadline to apply is Friday, December 6, 2024.
