Hurricane Irma Aftermath: Where To Get Water, Food From Hillsborough County

TAMPA, FL — Hillsborough County residents affected by Hurricane Irma can now go to three drive-up points of distribution and get water, nonperishable food, and "shelf-stable" meals that can be made quickly.

The locations will be open until 7 p.m. Saturday as well as Sunday, officials announced on the county website. Here are the locations:

• Al Lopez Park, 4810 N. Himes Ave. in Tampa
• Church of God Wimauma Convention Center, 5408 State Road 674 in Wimauma
• University of South Florida Lot 18 T, intersection of USF Sycamore Dr. and USF Elm Dr.

Drivers are asked to get in a single-file, enter the location, get their items and exit through a different location. Drivers and passengers should remain inside their vehicle. They will be asked to pop the trunk so workers can load the goods into the vehicle.
