On Thursday, Dec. 9, the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, with support from AT&T, PepsiCo, Target and Conagra Brands, will provide the food and supplies to pack more than 5,000 holiday meals for at-risk children in the greater Jacksonville area.
For the 10th year in a row, the foundation is setting up a volunteer experience for kids to help kids in their community. Students from area public and private schools are invited to pack bags with their family for other children who are identified as food insecure in Duval and St. Johns counties.
This hands-on opportunity secures a meal of stuffing, corn, green beans, noodles, pasta sauce, ramen, canned sausage, hot cocoa, candy canes, cereal, Slim Jims, cookies and Rice-a-Roni to children who might otherwise go hungry during the long holiday break.
With help from the sponsors of Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS presented by Circle K, the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation has been able to increase the number of bags from 500 the first year to 5,000 in 2021.
The Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation was created to help families and children in need. Based in Jacksonville, the nonprofit charity is involved in many different projects across North Florida.
Collaborating with other organizations such as the Wolfson’s Children Hospital, Blessings in a Backpack, Community PedsCare and Operation Shower, the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation helps to provide necessary funding and programs to help communities become healthier, stronger and educationally enriched.
