We’re Here to Help You Recover and Rebuild: Post-Hurricane Support from JAI

In the wake of two hurricanes that have struck our beloved Tampa Bay, we at Jacki Arena Interiors want to extend our deepest support to all those affected. We know hurricanes don’t just damage buildings, they impact lives, livelihoods, and the heartbeat of our community. As a local hospitality design firm with over two decades of experience, we are here to help rebuild not just spaces but also the spirit that makes our area so special.

Coming Together as a Community

As residents of Tampa Bay, we’ve witnessed the challenges hurricanes bring, but it’s in these moments that our community’s strength truly shines. A powerful example is our Cambria Hotel in Madeira Beach, where during Hurricane Helene, General Manager Steve Lambert opened the hotel’s doors to more than 125 locals who were displaced by Helene, including parents and children, law enforcement and 90-year-old veteran Vincent Cassar who, with his pet parrot, Sweetheart, had been trapped for two days inside his powerless condo nearby before being rescued by Lambert
