The Homeless Coalition St. Johns County hosted its annual low country boil fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Genung's Fish Camp. The event took place on a beautiful sunny day, surrounded by friends and supporters of the organization dedicated to helping homeless families rebuild their lives.
During the fundraiser, attendees had the opportunity to learn about the coalition’s ongoing efforts and future plans. The organization is currently raising funds for Phase 1 of its expansion plan, which is estimated to cost $300,000. This phase includes the renovation of the existing office into a new Children’s Education Center, the transformation of the food pantry into a new home for a family and the construction of an 1,800-square-foot office building with private offices and a conference room. Additionally, paved parking areas and sidewalks are planned to enhance accessibility and functionality.
At the time of the event, the Homeless Coalition had reached 3% of its fundraising goal. Supporters are encouraged to contribute and be a part of the organization's success in providing crucial support and services to St. Johns County homeless children and their families.
