Volunteers load storage unit donated by John's Island FoundationThe North Treasure Coast Chapter is proud to announce that we are the recipient of a much-needed grant from the John’s Island Foundation. Through the generosity of the Foundation, the chapter was able to purchase 234 shelter cots, 300 special need cots, and a forty foot storage unit to house the cots. These cots will be invaluable when shelters are opened for the next disaster. The special needs cots will assist the frail, disabled and elderly clients in Indian River County.
