3,198: the number of stockings donated during our Stock the Stocking drive! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this successful effort; thank you for caring about your community and its children. We are so appreciative of this support!

We are so grateful for everyone who helped make our holiday services possible. In order to provide a Christmas meal for 600 families in our community, there are a lot of moving parts, and we needed all hands on deck. And when we asked, our amazing community answered the call. A HUGE thank-you to our Christmas sponsor, Bay Baits who provided a $10,000 donation and Grocery Outlets who was our food purchasing partner. Rent Gear Here, thank you for sending volunteers and lending vans for delivery, and Hilary & Reverie, Courtyard by Marriott Sandetin at Grand Blvd, Alys Beach, Mercantile- Seaside, FL, Beau Interiors and Gateway Academy for volunteering to make it all possible! We couldn't have done it without you, and we are so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for helping others this holiday season!

It has been very busy around the FFT pantries. We have had the most wonderful people show up dedicated to help feed the kids and families in our program. We couldn't do it without our volunteers, sponsors, donors and kind people that share our mission. Thank you all!

What a treat!! It was so nice having the Food Network's Kids Baking Champion himself, Aidan Berry, in our Emril Lagassee Full Circle Kitchen this week! He taught students how to make the perfect holiday dessert and proved exactly why he won the competition. Thank you, Aidan!
