An RV Black & Gray Water Dump Portable service is available at no charge to those in need, courtesy of the Matlacha Hooker’s Rebuild Fund by calling Dooper’s Poopers at (239) 574-POOP (7667) .  These services are strictly for those who have no other means of shelter after being left homeless and currently using an RV as a means of shelter. 

A group of drivers formed a group called “Trucks with Room To Spare”. These are truckers who have available space on their rigs and are willing to carry supplies for individuals and organizations into disaster zones. Reach out to them at: https://www.facebook.com/TrucksWithRoomToSpare

Beacon of Hope Pine Island provides transportation to medical appointments for those in need.
