ASF Hurricane Kits
distributed to families and first responders in FL
The Autism Society of Florida
was honored to gift several hurricane kits to families this year. Our kits included noise cancelling headphones, coloring books and cool sensory toys to keep the kids entertained in the event of a hurricane. In addition to reaching families across the state, ASF donated kits to fire stations in Florida, giving our First Responders the opportunity to make connections with children and families living with autism.
