I’m very happy to see that the children are being fed. Is there any group that is delivering meals to sick shutins in Escambia County?
I am so grateful for those involved with this food distribution. The staff from Jim Allen Elementary have always been top notch in my book and this confirms it. Thank you to all who have helped to get this organized.
