Poor Florida neighborhood battered by flood tries to recover
Fox News
Gladiolus Food Pantry, a southwest Florida non-profit that supplies food for the community, has lost most of its donations due to flooding from Hurricane Ian.
"Right now I don’t know what we’re going to do because we’re going to need food, we’re going to need water, we're going to need everything," she said. "We got flooded and the water came through all the building."
Ortiz said the food pantry's green building is the heart of the Harlem Heights neighborhood, a small, mostly Hispanic community of nearly 2,000 people near Fort Myers that was hammered by the Category 4 hurricane. A sign scrawled on a piece of roofing that had torn loose advertised free food, diapers, wipes, body wash and toothpaste.
