11,716: The Number of Items Donated Through In For 10!
In August we connected with members of the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber and asked them to be In For 10. Our goal was to hand out backpacks we use for weekly services to members and have them bring the bags back to us filled with 10 items! Last week we wrapped up the campaign and because of the wonderful people that chose to be In For 10 we received 11,716 items! We are grateful for our community and their generosity to help us fight child hunger. Thank you for being In For 10!

Van Volunteering! #YouCanHelp
Each week we pack over 3,000 backpacks to deliver to 32 schools across Okaloosa and Walton counties. Packing the backpacks is a huge task but getting the backpacks to the school is the ultimate goal. Since Norma and Betty joined the FFT team we are able to load up hundreds of bags to transport to schools. The vans are a great asset but we always need reliable volunteers to drive the vans. With 32 schools to reach we need your help to get there. Loading up the vans to deliver is a rewarding job as you are making it possible for the kids to receive their food! If you're interesting in becoming a van driver contact us at volunteer@fftfl.org
