The Department of Children and Families employees is serious when it comes to helping others.  Employees in the Pensacola office carefully thought of an innovative way to encourage co-workers to give to their less fortunate neighbors during the holiday season.  They were given an opportunity to participate in a Can Construction Art and
Giving Contest to help families in need of food and supplies.

“All of the art projects were wonderful and the amount of food collected reflects a generosity of our staff that reflects caring hearts,” said Patricia Franklin, Operations Manger.  Canned goods and other non-perishable items are being donated to the following four local non profit organizations: Caring and Sharing, Act Ministries in Navarre, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, First Assembly of God Church in Crestview and Manna Food Bank.

“The economy is bad and people are loosing their jobs; they are hurting and may have to rely on other sources to help put food on the table.   We are hopeful that this initiative helps local food banks replenish their pantries,” said Janice Thomas, Circuit Administrator.

In addition to this effort Circuit 1 ACCESS Florida staff decided to forgo having large holiday luncheons as they have done in past; instead they donated food.
