Our office proudly supports HUGS St. Johns, whose mission is to help kids in need across St. Johns County. Each month, HUGS stocks school-based pantries at 20 local schools, directly serving over 600 children. In our community, approximately 400 children are considered homeless, and thousands more are impacted by poverty and crisis situations. According to Feeding America, nearly 8,000 children in St. Johns County experience food insecurity.
To meet the tremendous demand, HUGS St. Johns works closely with school counselors, social workers, and community partners – and we’re honored to assist in their efforts. We’ve placed a collection box in our office to collect food items for the next school year. Please consider dropping off contributions from the list of requested items below the next time you visit.
