  • Community Outreach: Supporting Those Affected by Hurricane Helene

    Yesterday was a day of unity and support in New Port Richey as The Law Offices of James J. Altman, P.A. teamed up with Invincia Technologies to give back to our neighbors, first responders, and county workers in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. At The Law Offices of James J. Altman, P.A., we set up two canopies to serve anyone in need, offering a small gesture of relief during this challenging time.

    We fired up the grills and served hotdogs with all the fixings, while handing out to-go bags filled with snacks and protein-packed items for those on the move. It was a chance to offer not only a warm meal but also comfort to those who have been tirelessly working to rebuild and support our community, especially our local municipalities, first responders, and county workers who have been on the front lines.

    While the event was successful, the impact of Hurricane Helene continues to weigh heavily on our community. Homes have been lost, lives disrupted, and many are still in need of support. We’re urging everyone to come together whether through donations of food, money, or your time to continue to assist those who are still recovering. Every bit of help counts, and together we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected.
