Members of the Southeast Florida Area, in partnership with St. Ann Place, a homeless outreach center in West Palm Beach, gathered to fill 120 backpacks with toiletry items, socks, a reusable water bottle, food items including a gift card from Publix Supermarket. This endeavor was made possible through a 2024 Local Area Project Support grant.

Members and Candidates in the Year of Formation also volunteered to help serve a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at St. Ann Place. Clients enjoyed a delicious turkey meal served outdoors at picnic tables provided by a Regular Area Grant that St. Ann Place received last year.

Following dinner our volunteers distributed the backpacks and gift card. In the true spirit of Thanksgiving, it was a successful event for both clients and volunteers with all expressing their gratitude and appreciation.
