The City of Homestead, in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) and Farm Share, will host a Hurricane Preparedness Drive-Thru Distribution on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Harris Field (1034 NE 8th St. Homestead, FL 33030). The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
As part of the City’s commitment to proactive emergency preparedness, the event will distribute Family Necessities Kits containing essential supplies to help Homestead residents prepare for the peak of hurricane season. The kits are designed to support basic needs during potential storm-related emergencies.
The distribution will follow a drive-thru format, allowing residents to remain safe in their vehicles while receiving supplies. This event is for City of Homestead residents only. All participants must present a valid ID to receive a kit.
Additional community partners, including United Healthcare and Neighbors 4 Neighbors, are also supporting the initiative to ensure residents have access to vital preparedness resources.
“This event is about helping our community stay safe and ready,” said Mayor Steven D. Losner. “Preparedness can make a big difference, and we’re proud to work with GEM, Farm Share, and other partners to bring these resources to Homestead families.”
