SATURDAY DEC 15, 2018 |

The Gulf Coast Community Foundation recently awarded JFCS of the Suncoast a $10,000 community grant to support the organization’s fundraising, cultural and volunteer recognition programs. The funds will be specifically directed toward five JFCS events and volunteer support programs, including the annual JFCS Celebration, BeyondMe networking events, Celebrity Chefs, JFCS Volunteer Celebration Luncheon and the Key Chorale Performance of Elijah.

“JFCS is most appreciative of this grant from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation that allows us to host events that grow awareness among residents, government officials, business leaders and other non-profit partners about the work and mission of JFCS,” said Laura McManus-Mesia, JFCS chief development officer.  “The grant is particularly timely given the recent economic and employment challenges as a result of Red Tide, which has placed greater burdens on those in need and the services to help them thrive.”
