The Company of Heaven’s ‘Help Someone Today’ initiative will host its annual Community Care Day on Saturday, May 2, at the Northwest Florida Fairgrounds, now known as the Rigdon Center, offering free essential supplies and family entertainment to local residents.
- The free, family-friendly event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is open to the public.
Community Care Day aims to connect local families with basic necessities while creating a space for neighborhood connection and support.
Attendees can receive food boxes, toiletries, hygiene essentials, clothing for adults and children, infant supplies and pet supplies. The event will also feature kids’ activities, community engagement booths, raffles, prizes and family entertainment.
Organizers are seeking support from local residents and businesses ahead of the event. Donations of non-perishable food, gently used clothing, infant supplies such as formula and diapers, hygiene products and pet food are all needed. Volunteers are also needed.
- Items can be dropped off at the Destin Community Center, located at 101 Stahlman Ave. in Destin. Organizers said they are also looking for additional drop-off and storage locations throughout Okaloosa County.
Local organizations, churches, businesses and community groups are invited to set up informational tables at no cost to share services, resources or educational materials with attending families. Product sales are not permitted.
Those interested in sponsoring, donating or reserving a vendor space can email coheventsfl@gmail.com. More information is available here.
