Proceeds from the auction support the annual Take-A-Kid Fishing Day, held the first Sunday in November. Over the past 28 years, more than 9,300 children have participated in the fishing day, which includes breakfast, fishing on local charter boats, a fish fry, and a t-shirt and rod and reel for each child to take home.

Harbor Docks Charities also supports Destin Harvest in its efforts to feed the hungry in the area. Additionally, for 29 years, Harbor Docks has provided a Thanksgiving feast, serving more than 32,000 guests. The organization has also helped fund numerous Habitat for Humanity homes.
