    Be A Hero to Our Heroes Board Members.

    Editor, The Sun:

    We’re delighted to report all the F.R.E.S.H. (Fully Refreshing and Empowering Students Holistically) Back to School Outreach Events for the 2023-24 School Year were a tremendous success!
    We were able to bless over 1,000 students and we are so thankful!
    For three consecutive Saturdays in July, we distributed backpacks and school supplies in the respective communities of St. Marks, Panacea, and Sopchoppy, and our final event was held on Saturday, August 5th in Crawfordville.
    We provided school supplies for 133 students in St. Marks; 161 students in Panacea; 172 students in Sopchoppy; 608 students in Crawfordville; and as of August 8, 2023, 63 students were served after the event.
    Our supporters and sponsors continue to astound us by their willingness to make a difference in the lives of students in Wakulla County. The love that was shown and freely given is the reason that we as a community could be a blessing to so many people.
    Our mission is to encourage and empower students, parents and the community holistically (spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically) for an effective 2023-24 school year. With all of our combined efforts, the mission was a great success.
    It is with heartfelt love that we thank all of the organizations, churches, businesses, and individuals who supported us in this event. We look forward to working with all of you next year!
    In His Service,

    Cheryl Randolph and Kenny Manning
