We’ve put together a resource that we will keep up to date with information that as a local resident you might be looking for. Something you’re looking for that isn’t here? Let us know.

Victim Assistance

The City of Orlando has set up the Family Assistance Center at the Camping World Stadium for families of those who were involved in the shooting. More on that HERE.

Donations

If you are looking to donate, local groups created an official Go Fund Me page to raise money for the victims. This is the official one being managed by The Center, MBA, Hope and Help, Two Spirit Health, Zebra Coalition, Rollins.

Physical donations to the victims in the hospital are being discouraged as the staff is already very taxed, and they’re running out of room. If you would like to donate flowers or memorial items you are encouraged to bring them to the lawn in front of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts at 445 S. Magnolia Avenue.
