The St. Johns County Food Bank was depleted due to the pandemic, and in four days just before Christmas our members heard the call and organized a successful food drive.
Acknowledging our work, Tracy Dillon, Social Services Manager of St. Johns County Health and Human Services sent this note to one of our members.
“We are extremely grateful for the Marsh Creek Community for their generous donation for our food pantry. As I stated yesterday, we assist over 40 St. Johns County residents [who] apply for food assistance/SNAP benefits thru the Department of Children and Families each month. These individuals are very grateful that we have staples to give them they leave to hold them over. In addition we administer other programs that benefit from our food closet, so this will have a positive impact to your community for months to come.
We are in the process of unpacking 350+ bags of food and are thankful beyond words for the generosity.”
Thank you to our members that donated and opened their homes for the food collection and drop off. A job well done by our Outreach Committee, Marsh Creek HOA Board and Marsh Creek Country Club.
