Helping Idalia victims

As Citrus County's coastal communities recover from widespread flooding damage, Operation Blessing is among the humanitarian relief organizations connecting Hurricane Idalia victims with vital resources and volunteers.  

Operation Blessing's disaster relief team is working with a church in Homosassa to organize mass cleanup efforts in the surrounding area by deploying teams of volunteers stocked with cleaning supplies to people with damaged homes. The Christian service charity also is providing meals and other relief supplies to those impacted by the storm. 

Those needing assistance with salvaging personal belongings, debris removal, chainsaw work or blue roofs can fill out a work request for free volunteer help from 10 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday at Christian Center Church, 7961 W. Green Acres St., Homosassa, FL 34446. Those wishing to volunteer to help storm victims can register at the church at 8:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday and attend a 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. orientation. Volunteers are asked to wear long pants and sturdy work boots or shoes with hard soles. 

For more information, call 800-730-2537 or sign up to volunteer at https://www.ob.org/disaster-relief/volunteer/, or visit ob.org/obdisaster to donate.

Commissioner Davis demands $$$ for pro-LGBT, anti-white tourism plan

I don't know if it was until the day he died, but at least until 10 years before he passed, he would actually say that an interracial couple was just trying to make noise and be noticed," said Davis, who congratulated herself on overcoming  her father's views.
