• Food for Thought- Food for Thought provides backpacks filled with healthy, easy to prepare food for students who are dependent on free or reduced school meals. Their goal is to support a child’s development and educational experience by bridging the gap between school meals during weekends and holiday breaks. 
• Hope Panhandle- Hope Panhandle, Inc. is a nonprofit organization led by neighboring community leaders. Upon seeing the devastation left behind by Hurricane Michael, they immediately organized and assembled a group of dedicated volunteers to help offer hurricane relief to the residents of the ravaged Florida Panhandle. Hope also accepts donations.
