Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a nationwide organization that believes that “a bed is a basic requirement for the proper physical, emotional and mental support” that a child needs.
Our local Sleep in Heavenly Peace affiliate is the Tallahassee Chapter (SHPTLH). As a part of this chapter, we launched a distribution center in Wakulla County in June. We started with 40 beds and have depleted our inventory through many deliveries to families in need.

As we go into the New Year, I want to thank our readers, advertisers and contributors as we start our fourth year as The Wakulla Sun.
We started the newspaper in February 2022 – me, salesperson Lynda Kinsey and graphic artist/production supervisor Eric Stanton along with reporter Riddhi Patel – after leaving The Wakulla News over differences with the new owners. Except for Patel, the others of us had worked at the newspaper for decades.
Contact us to advertise in one of our Quality Publications. THE WAKULLA SUN (our Weekly Newspaper), WAKULLA NEIGHBOR (our FREE Monthly publication going to ALL Homes in Wakulla County) and GULF COAST BREEZE (our Annual Visitors Guide to Wakulla County).
