November, 2025
Hello Friends and Neighbors,
The federal government has re-opened but for too many people times are still hard. With the holidays upon us we want to be sure that neighbors in need have options to feed themselves and their families.
We have partnered with the UNITED WAY OF NORTHWEST FLORIDA for help in collection and distribution of food and funding. We felt a "one stop" website could help folks navigate where to give.
Our financial goal is $5,000 before year's end.
We hope you will join us to support our friends and neighbors who may need extra helping hands.
