How is your Monday so far? It can be mixed-emotions for many as Leon County parents sent their kid(s) off for first day of school. Maybe some broke out their wine glasses and some cried as they drove away. We absolutely get it. We also said goodbye to Olympics ‘24 over the weekend. Queue the intro to “California Love.” All eyes on Olympics ‘28 in L.A. TLH Beerfest ‘24 had another successful turnout for one of the largest Brewfests in Florida. Thanks to all of you who stopped by our table! From supporting community development, to local companies receiving accolades, to opening up a new business —more good news comes with good vibes. 🤗✨

Second Harvest of the Big Bend Awarded $20,500 Grant by State Farm. The grant will assist in supplying food for Second Harvest's mobile distribution efforts across 16 county service area. | WTXL
Mobile distributions provide an effective method for food distribution while fostering an environment of respect and dignity. A mobile pantry aims to address the needs of underserved communities by eliminating access barriers, therefore enhancing capacity and fostering community development.
“This invaluable support enables us to provide essential food for our mobile distributions that are often located in areas that do not have affordable and consistent access to healthy and nutritious foods. It makes a significant difference in the lives of those in need,” said Monique Ellsworth, CEO of Second Harvest of the Big Bend.
"With this grant, State Farm is proud to support Second Harvest of the Big Bend in their mission to combat food insecurity and serve underserved communities," said Jose Soto, State Farm Corporate Responsibility Analyst.
