SURFSIDE, Fla. — There is a tremendous outpouring of support for those families impacted by the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside. From athletic groups, faith-based organizations to nonprofits, all have pitched in to help.
Last week, Miami-Dade County officials launched Supportsurfside.org to help with monetary donations since many organizations have sufficient items and donations for the victims.
The Shul
The Shul, a Jewish Community Center right up the street from the Champlain Towers, is challenged with space to store and sort all the emergency supplies. It has launched the website theshul.org/8777 to make further contributions as the need will be great and ongoing.
Support Surfside
The Coral Gables Community Foundation, the Key Biscayne Community Foundation, the Knight Foundation, the Miami Foundation, Miami Heat and Miami Heat Charitable Fund are standing together to build a hardship fund for those impacted.
