GCSC & WMBB Hurricane Florence Relief Update

Panama City, FL – Gulf Coast State College students, faculty and staff are teaming up with WMBB News 13 to provide emergency relief to those in the path of Hurricane Florence. In addition to collecting relief items, the GCSC Foundation is accepting monetary donations, which can be made online by visiting www.gcscfoundation.org (under “Donate Now” and select the designation as “Hurricane Relief”). Checks and money orders will also be accepted (payable to GCSC Foundation; memo hurricane relief).

The College and WMBB are collecting donations in an effort to provide those affected by Hurricane Florence with the necessary resources to aid in the cleanup and recovery process. Some of the items needed include cleaning supplies, pet supplies and baby supplies. Donations can be dropped off at any GCSC campus including the Main Campus in Panama City, the Gulf/Franklin Campus in Port St. Joe, the North Bay Campus in Southport and the Tyndall Education Center on Tyndall Air Force Base. The College is also working with organizations in the community to provide additional collection sites, and they will be announced as the information becomes available.

The Association of Florida Colleges GCSC Chapter is assisting with the effort, and the project is spearheaded by GCSC’s Commodores Care committee, an initiative dedicated to helping the community by providing opportunities for GCSC staff and students to get involved and to expand volunteerism efforts.
