Barnstable County Sheriff Aids FL Relief Effort


Barnstable County Sheriff Jim Cummings is partnering with a number of other Sheriffs to support the Florida Sheriffs Association and the people of Florida to collect much-needed non-perishable items in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

Cummings says thousands in Florida lost everything in the storm and items on the recommended list will bring comfort and safety to the most vulnerable.

Donations are being accepted in the lobby of the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office in Bourne through Friday, October 6. Additionally, eight police departments on Cape Cod are also serving as drop-off locations for the non-perishable items; Bourne, Brewster, Dennis, Falmouth, Orleans, Sandwich, Wellfleet, and Yarmouth.

The Florida Disaster Fund is the State of Florida’s official private fund established to assist the state’s communities as they respond to and recover during tmies of emergency or disaster.

In addition to collecting non-perishable items to be transported to locations identified by the Florida Sheriffs Association, if Cape Codders would like to make a financial donation, the Florida Sheriffs Association asks you to use the below link:
