A local high school teacher is heading to Florida to help with Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Mark Haug lost his home in Ocean Gate 12 years ago during Superstorm Sandy.

Haug, a wilderness survival teacher at Central Regional High School in Bayville, has done this plenty of times before through his charity Hold On, I’m Coming. It was created in honor of those who helped Haug out during Sandy.

The charity helps victims of natural disasters by offering them a hot meal, cold bottled water and supplies. Haug says he cannot believe how many friends he has made all over the country. He is now on his way to making some more.
