HCA Florida Fort Walton Destin Hospital presented a $10,000 donation to One Hopeful Place, a local nonprofit serving the homeless, on Friday.

FWDH auxiliary volunteers also donated $1,000 each to Children in Crisis, Bed 4 Me and Sharing & Caring.

The donations were presented at the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce’s First Friday Coffee event on Dec. 1 and aim to support the organizations’ efforts to provide services to individuals experiencing homelessness.

“This significant contribution is not just a donation but a symbol of compassion and commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those facing homelessness,” said the hospital in a statement. “The funds provided will play a crucial role in advancing One Hopeful Place’s mission to provide shelter, support, and resources to individuals experiencing homelessness.”
