October 10, 2022
October 10, 2022 – Colleges in North Central Florida are partnering to support areas impacted by Hurricane Ian. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» (Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³») President Paul Broadie and Florida Gateway College (FGC) President Larry Barrett teamed up to host a supply drive, with the items collected heading to southwest Florida.
Using a semitruck from FGC's Commercial Vehicle Driving program, supplies were loaded in the truck at their main campus in Lake City before traveling to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s Northwest Campus in Gainesville to collect supplies gathered by the college community there.
A dozen pallets loaded with supplies including bottled water, non-perishable food items, toiletries, cleaning supplies, pet food and more were donated by Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and added to the supplies gathered at FGC. The truck left Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s Northwest Campus by about 9:30 and will head to Ocala to collect more items gathered by the College of Central Florida. FGC officials expect the truck to arrive in southwest Florida late this afternoon.
