Martin, Executive Director, United Way of Lee County. “United Way is proud to partner with BelFlex to collect and distribute these necessary relief supplies where they are needed most.”

- Canned food
- Baby formula
- Water
- Cleaning supplies
- Diapers (child & adult) and wipes
- Hygiene products/toiletries, including dental supplies
“Because our local offices were spared the brunt of the storm, we recognized the opportunity to fulfill BelFlex’s commitment to community service by rolling up our sleeves and helping our neighbors along the coast,” said Brenda Clegg, Business Development Manager, BelFlex. “Naturally we chose to partner with the United Way, a champion of helping communities around the world find solutions to virtually any challenge, including natural disasters.”
