Red Cross In Pinellas To Help Residents Affected By Hurricane Irma

LARGO, FL – While things are starting to get back to normal for most Pinellas County residents following Hurricane Irma, there are still some residents who are struggling to get back on their feet.

The American Red Cross is hoping to extend a hand to those people who need assistance. Red Cross Caseworkers will be at Prince of Peace Church, 455 Missouri Ave. N. in Largo, on Thursday, Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The caseworkers will help Pinellas County residents connect to services and resources. Available services include limited financial assistance for eligible residents whose home was destroyed or heavily damaged. Assistance will be provided on-site.

Residents must register in person and should bring proof of residence and photo ID. Only one representative per household is needed to apply for assistance.
