    Let only those that are suffering whether they encountered damage from the flood or not get the food. If you are looking for a handout “just because” then stay at home.

    I will be there with the UF IFAS Escambia County Extension distributing items. We will also answer questions and offer information about: nutrition, food safety, mold, hygiene, etc.

    I agree with Judy. I am hoping people will be honest about their needs.
