They will be distributed to clients in Orange County who are considered especially vulnerable, often because they have very limited resources and no family member living in the area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will make a huge, huge difference,&#8221; said Gardner, who is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/alumni-giving\/\">alumnus<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/social-work-bsw\/\">UCF&#8217;s social work program<\/a> (B.S.W., &#8217;82). &#8220;Thank you<\/p>\n<p>so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thirty students spent weeks gathering boxes and soliciting supplies to create individual &#8220;Hurricane Supply Kits&#8221; as part of a summer course taught by Associate Professor Eileen Abel.
