In the Aftermath of Hurricane Ian

October 5, 2022 / Casey Potter /

First and foremost, The Holiday Life hopes you and your loved ones are safe and sound. We are heartbroken over the devastation throughout our community and the coastal areas impacted by Hurricane Ian, and sympathize with all who have lost loved ones or experienced displacement or irreversible damage to their property. We are still working assessing damage mitigation to our properties and figuring out how to best help our community, but are grateful to share that all of our staff is safe.

If you are experiencing hardships, we urge you to explore these local resources. The City of Naples and various organizations have put together an extensive list of Hurricane Resources, including food and shelter information, FEMA assistance, debris removal, battery safety, volunteer opportunities, and more. Please see the latest information and updates here:
