🤝 Serving our communities is at the heart of @FLSERT’s mission, ensuring that Florida residents have the resources & support they need to stay safe & prepared.
As part of our #EMDay2026 service project, we partnered with @FLElderAffairs @FLACommerce, @FloridaAPD @HealthyFla to provide 500 starter disaster supply kits to seniors living in flood-prone areas impacted by recent disasters.
🫶 Little by little, we’re making our communities safer & stronger.

It was an honor to welcome the Family Initiative (@FI_Inc) and some of the families they serve to the Governor’s Residence yesterday.
@GovRonDeSantis and I are proud of the work @FloridaAPD and organizations like Family Initiative do to support Floridians with unique abilities. Florida believes in lifting people up and is proud to work with organizations doing the same.

Christopher, an individual with unique abilities, was looking for new opportunities and community. With the help of his Hope Navigator, he has discovered new passions. Now in a culinary program, he is setting his sights on his next goal: swimming in the Special Olympics.

@HopeFlorida is a game changer in supporting and empowering Floridians by connecting individuals to resources and opportunities that allow people to succeed.
WATCH: Rachel share her inspiring story with @HopeFlorida a journey that began when she first partnered through her church, where she served as a pastor.
Today, she leads the Hope Florida team, empowering others by connecting individuals in need to vital resources right in their own communities—resources that serve as stepping stones to help them achieve their goals. Rachel’s deep passion for serving this population drew her to this work, but it’s her experience with Hope Florida that sealed the deal. Now, she says she can’t imagine a Florida without it. 💙

Since I became Governor, we have consistently delivered record tax relief, paid down debt, and run budget surpluses—all while making transformative investments in education, public safety, conservation, and other priorities for Floridians.
My proposed Focus on Fiscal Responsibility Budget for 2025-2026 lays the foundation for Florida to continue thriving on firm financial footing this coming year, and I strongly encourage the legislature to act on these proposals.
