Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis awarded five Suwannee, Madison, and Columbia County nonprofit organizations with $10,000 each through the Hope Florida Fund. Recipients recognized by the First Lady were: Pregnancy Care Center, First Baptist Church of Live Oak, Love in the Name of Christ of Suwannee County, Christian Service Center of Columbia County, and Forgotten Coast K9.
First Lady Casey DeSantis launched the Hope Florida Fund in July 2022 to harness the charity of the private sector to give funds to deserving local nonprofit entities through her Hope Florida initiative. Today’s award recipients serve families, expectant mothers, veterans, and first responders. Hope Florida funding awards are made possible by the generosity of the Florida private sector and not at taxpayer expense.
“It was a pleasure to visit Suwannee County today to recognize and award Hope Florida funding to five nonprofits in the local community,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “It is heartwarming to meet more Florida nonprofit organizations that are generously serving those in need. I am grateful for this opportunity to be able to supplement their efforts with funding.”
