2012Residents Can Volunteer for Wellington’s Hurricane Helpers Program
Through June 30th, residents can sign up to receive assistance or as volunteers to assist neighbors with putting up first floor hurricane shutters, securing outdoor furniture, removing post-hurricane debris and making follow-up phone calls after the storm has passed. To sign up, call the Safe Neighborhoods Office’s Helping Residents with Needs line at (561) 791-HRWN (4796). All we require is your full name, address, phone number, whether you want to volunteer or need assistance as well as the type of assistance requested. Residents can also sign up on Wellington’s website at www.wellingtonfl.gov.
Wellington will continue to accept requests for assistance after June 30th but cannot guarantee that you will be matched with a volunteer. However, as long as phone service is available, volunteers who have signed up to assist with these efforts will make follow-up phone calls after a hurricane or make home visits once the roads have been cleared and determined to be safe.
It takes our entire community to make this program work, so please join us in helping your neighbors this hurricane season.
