In Lakeland, Florida, community members Briley and Braxton recently surprised utility workers from Gainesville Regional Utilities with snack packs as a gesture of appreciation. This act is part of a larger wave of kindness observed in the area, especially as utility crews continue their efforts to restore services following the impact of Hurricane Milton.

Many residents are still facing challenges such as high water, downed trees, and power outages. The storm has caused significant damage not only in Lakeland but also in surrounding areas. Local authorities and citizens are collaborating to help the city recover.

Lakeland Electric reminds everyone to stay safe and expresses gratitude for those working on the front lines of recovery. Community support remains vital during this time.
