A week after Hurricane Michael hit Florida’s panhandle as a Category 4 storm, rescue efforts remain underway in some of the hardest hit areas, and floral industry groups have sprung into action to help support businesses devastated by the storm.
The AIFD Foundation, in concert with the Florida State Florists’ Association (FSFA), this week established the Hurricane Michael Florist Fund “to help rebuild the Florida floral industry,” said CEO Lynn Lary McLean, AAF, AIFD, PFCI, TMF.
The new fund “will provide 100 percent of the received contributions for distribution to those in need,” McLean said. “We look to the floral industry to be most supportive of this effort with the hope to assist those with the greatest need.”
