Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's MLK Day of Service Project, Bags and Books for Foster Kids!  We were excited to have received an MLK Day of Service Grant again this year, through State College of Florida.  Our 2020 Project, Bags and Books for Kids strived to provide foster children in Circuit 12 with new suitcases and story books.  While we wish we had the funds to provide new suitcases to all children in are in Circuit 12, we were grateful that through grant funding and the generosity of our community, we had over 100 new suitcases and duffel bags to provide!

Now that our event has occurred, there are still a limited number of suitcases remaining, so please fill out the request form below and a time will be coordinated for you to meet at our Storage Facility to pick up a suitcase.
