Mission House hosting community scavenger hunt in Jacksonville Beach

Posted

Mission House is hosting a Jacksonville Beach Community Scavenger Hunt. Find the Rainbow: Scavenger Hunt is a community event set for Saturday March 13 from 1 to 3 p.m.

During the scavenger hunt, participants will go to different nonprofits in Jacksonville Beach. Participating nonprofits include the Beaches Museum, Beaches Go Green and Fur Sisters. At each stop, participants will complete a small activity. At the conclusion of the scavenger hunt, there will be food trucks and prizes. This event will be family friendly and socially distanced.

“Mission House is so excited to bring an educational and fun scavenger hunt to our beaches community,” Mission House Director Carina Saladino said. “We’re glad to incorporate our partnering nonprofits and bring awareness to the immediate needs of our homeless community.”

To participate, form a team of three-to-five people and register. Teams can register ahead of time or the day of the event. Same-day registration is $15 per team and $10 for early registration.

“We are providing a unique opportunity for kids to learn about homelessness,” said Jessica Dumas, Mission House board member and event sponsor.

 All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to Mission House to help serve the community. Due to COVID-19, Mission House has had to find new ways to raise funds and awareness for its work.

Mission House is a nonprofit that has been serving the homeless community of Jacksonville Beach since 1997.
