2007 Grant Recipients

Clean & Green

The grant is being used to purchase a bobcat, dump-trailer and a truck to pull the dump-trailer and bobcat so that they can (1) clean hurricane debris, (2) remove damaged trees and limbs, (3) rake, mow and remove overgrown vegetation, (4) remove damaged outbuildings, (5) remove damaged fences or make minor repairs, and (6) haul all debris to the landfill. The equipment will be used to remove remaining debris for elderly homeowners, and others, who lack the resources to remove the debris.

Northwest Florida Blood Center

During 2006, Northwest Florida Blood Center furnished approximately 57,250 units of blood and blood components to area hospitals. Approximately 60% of all blood donations come from bloodmobile drives. The grant is being used to purchase a new bloodmobile that will be used throughout Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties for approximately 15 years to collect blood. It will replace a 16 year old bloodmobile with numerous problems that has become unreliable.

Northwest Florida Comprehensive Services for Children, Inc. aka Families Count

This organization recently refurbished a building at 5139

Elmira Street in Milton, Florida, known as the Family Place on the Square. The grant will allow them to renovate an additional 2,500 square feet, or the back half of the 5,600 square foot building, to create a state-of-the-art youth outreach and development center, which for the first time, will allow them to address risk youth development.

Pensacola Promise, Inc.
