As the school year ends, I am thrilled to share the extraordinary accomplishments our chapter has experienced.

• We’re still celebrating 10 years of our chapter’s existence and the tremendous impact achieved during this time.
• Blessings SWFL increased the number of children served from 7,080 to more than 8,400 across 34 programs, despite economic challenges this past school year.
• We expanded our team by adding a chapter coordinator and part-time administrative support. Please join me in extending gratitude to Paige Navarro and Heather Ford for their dedication!
• Our first-ever signature event “Get Fed Up” successfully launched.
• Travis Merrick joined our board of directors.
• Our series of events included Sizzle, Hall O Wine, Batter Up for Blessings, Champions 4 Children, and Pack the Park to put the “fun” in fundraising! Each event was a pleasure to host and provided a diversity of offerings for our community.
• We ensured strong corporate sponsorships, donor relations, and an engaged advisory board.
• The passion and dedication of our team to provide weekend meals to children in need is truly inspiring. Thank you all for your support and passion to feed hungry children in Southwest Florida, weekend meals.

Warm Regards,

Cecilia St. Arnold
