Project May Day

We got big plans for an October fundraising event, and we could use your help. Come on out for our next planning meeting this Wednesday, May 6 at Crispy's, and bring a friend!

We're so thrilled to have been chosen as the Judge's Choice winner at yesterday's Springfield Chili Cook-Off! 💜

Thank you to the organizers of this amazing event, Sharon Frye and Amanda Hunter Searle, as well as all of the volunteers to worked to put this together.

Thank you to the distinguished culinary judges:

Felicia Luke, owner - The District SPR and Dorothy’s Downtown
Jacinth McCook Lyle - owner, Flavorly Kitchen
Jason Walker - Chef, UF Health
Mike Delker - decades of culinary expertise

Shout out to Stephanie Sperber for professional photography and the EastWest Collective for a masterful performance.

Big ups to the other participating neighborhood nonprofits for all the good work you do!
Historic Springfield Society
Indivisible Jax Springfield (winner of the People's Choice award!)

The Well at Springfield

And finally, thank you to Jarrod Killen for all of your generosity and hard work. We owe this win to you.

We double-checked our math, and guess what? Supporting a local nonprofit in Jacksonville can cost you literally zero dollars. Not “affordable.” Not “low cost.” Just zero. Follow, like, share, chat it up, write something nice. That’s all you gotta do.
