Fort Walton Beach fish fry fundraiser to support homeless services in Okaloosa, Walton counties

The drive-thru event on Nov. 21 will raise funds for rehousing and prevention programs through Homelessness & Housing Alliance.

The Homelessness & Housing Alliance of Okaloosa & Walton Counties will host a fish fry fundraiser on Friday, November 21, with all proceeds supporting local rehousing and homeless prevention services.

  • The drive-thru event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Liza Jackson Park, 388 Miracle Strip Parkway in Fort Walton Beach. Dewey Destin Seafood will provide the meals.

Tickets are $15 and must be purchased in advance here. No tickets will be sold on-site the day of the event.

One hundred percent of proceeds will go directly toward rehousing and homeless prevention services in Okaloosa and Walton counties.

The Homelessness & Housing Alliance believes the community can end homelessness by working together to invest in affordable housing and implement best practices to help families and individuals in crisis.

  • As the lead agency for the Okaloosa Walton Continuum of Care, HHA brings together homeless service providers, local government, law enforcement, behavioral health providers, hospitals and affordable housing developers. The collaborative approach aims to ensure community programs work together to meet immediate needs of unhoused residents and address long-term drivers of homelessness. 

The fundraiser offers supporters a way to enjoy a meal while directly supporting local community services.
