I am proud that the City of Apalachicola is fast becoming one of the more livable cities in our area and that we have been able to achieve this without compromising our heritage or our relationship to the environment. I am sure I speak for all of the staff and commissioners when I say thank you.
As we enter the holiday season, I’m reminded of those living among us who do not share fully in our level of comfort and blessings.
Easily 25% of the residents throughout Franklin County live below the federal poverty level. With the national and local economic crisis, declines in the real estate market and challenges before the seafood industry, this holiday large numbers of our residents will face bleak circumstances.
This season I have made it my personal challenge to do what I can to see that those who are less fortunate have something to look forward to, that’s why I have joined with the Franklin County Food Pantry to make sure all our residents have not only a holiday meal but also a meal throughout the year.
The goal is to raise the $4,000 necessary to purchase a tractor-trailer load of food from the Church of God organization in South Florida. We would be able to purchase 24,000 to 30,000 pounds of food at approximately 10 cents per pound. A truckload of this magnitude will be enough food for 3-4 months of distributions.
I hope you will join me by making a generous contribution to the “Mayor’s Seasonal Campaign”. I appreciate all your support and extend to you and your families the warmest of holiday blessings.
Please make your contribution check payable to:
