Hurricane Preparedness event in Jacksonville (WJXT)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Farm Share Florida partnered with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) earlier Saturday to host a Hurricane Preparedness Distribution Event at eight sites across Florida, offering free emergency supplies to families, seniors, and individuals at no cost.
The event, held June 6, 2026, gave residents a chance to get ahead of hurricane season with essential emergency supplies before storms arrive.
A second event was also scheduled at the City of Hialeah Hurricane Preparedness event on June 7.
One of the Jacksonville-area distribution sites was held at Celebration Church, located at 9555 RG Skinner Pkwy, where doors opened at 9 a.m.
“Storms don’t wait,” organizers reminded residents — and Saturday’s turnout showed that communities across Florida weren’t waiting either.
