Chef Jim Shirley Enterprises will be heading to Port Saint Joe Tuesday to set up a long term temporary restaurant in the Big Blue Bus to feed anyone in need in the area. We will be partnering with the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association as well as Mark Haddock of Krazyfish Grille in Port St. Joe to bring all people in need fresh, safe, hot food on an ongoing basis. This is a way we can safely make a difference. We will stay as long as we are needed. We are asking people to donate propane and bottle water (both bottles and gallons) on Monday, October 15 for our trip on Tuesday. Other donations are welcome, although they will not go over on Tuesday. They will make it to people in need as we will partner with other organizations taking items over.

Please drop items off next door to The Bay restaurant at the entrance next to Bay Baits. The building is located just South of The Bay right next door. Drop off between 6am - 6pm and the staff at The Bay will organize and put inside.

Donors may continue to drop off items at this location and we will make sure they get to those in need.

There are so many people in need- and they will be in dire need for MONTHS and YEARS to come. Since Panama City is more heavily populated, it makes sense that a large portion of the resources are going there first. There are some more rural areas located just to the north that received a direct hit, and it is taking longer for them to receive help. In many areas, the roads are still not passable and they are saying it could be a year before power is restored.

So many people have asked me how they can help. I have parents at the school with families in the area, and they are making regular trips to places like Lynn Haven, Blountstown, Callaway, Southport, Mariana, and Clarksville.

South Walton Montessori Academy will be a donation collection point. We will make sure that all donations go directly to the people in need, starting in some of these rural towns and cities. If you would like to drop off any of the following items, please contact Beth at 850-240-0670 and I'll coordinate a time to meet you. Here is a list of the things that I have heard would be most helpful:

Baby Supplies: Formula, Diapers, Wipes
Pedialyte
Gatorade (FEMA is just now getting to some areas and they will be distributing water)
Canned Food (Open and Eat preferably. Some areas do not have gas or stoves to cook)
Bug Spray
Sunscreen
Clean Clothes (I’ve had several requests for underwear- all sizes, men, women, and children)
Dog Food
Powdered milk

For my friends that live out of town, if you'd rather send gift cards for places like Walmart, Lowes, or Target, my staff and I will shop for what is needed and make sure it gets delivered. I set this Go Fund Me page up for the same purpose. 100% of money we receive will be spent on the supplies that our neighbors TELL US that they need. We have several friends that are making trips to hard hit areas daily.

Donations can be sent to or delivered to South Walton Montessori Academy at 101 Eden Gardens Road in Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.

There are a LOT of people that are going to need a LOT of assistance for a long, long time.

Thank you for your support!

October 15 post
Yesterday the Spell Restaurant Group came together for Day 3 of serving people. Over 800 people got to eat. The crew met at Edward's Fine Food and Wine where our chef and amazing staff prepared delicious chef inspired meals for hundreds of heroes and residents deep into Panama City. After feeding them, we got escorted by the PD to the Parker PD/FD HQ a few miles away... so thankful for the escort as most roads were impassable. We delivered hot chow and got their wish list by the Chief that consisted of a Snickers bar for every man in his unit... so tomorrow we will be back with Snickers. He then gave us verbal directions to Bayou George. This area hasn’t received any aid as of yet, and was severely understaffed. We jumped right in and set up food for the community. We will be back again today.

Hurricane Michael Update

View attachment 73235

We are working with the UMC to serve as a distribution center to help those impacted by Hurricane Michael. This means that we will serve as a staging area for UMCOR cleaning and hygiene kits along with other heavy equipment. Other churches will bring supplies to us and we will pass them in to the certified teams heading in to work. We currently have one semi in route full of supplies. The convenience of our church location will allow these materials to move into damaged areas as soon as possible.

We will be storing these items in our Kids/Students building, so all kids Kindergarten and up will be joining their families in worship this Sunday. Kids ages 4 and under will meet in their usual classrooms.

Gifts designated on Sunday morning will go directly towards hurricane relief efforts. If you are not able to attend on Sunday, but would still like to give you May do so online. Select general fund and type UMCOR in the comment box.

Only certified teams are being allowed into the damaged areas so we do not have a work team option at this time. However, immediate needs that can be met are bottled water or gift cards to big box stores that will allow people to purchase essentials as they figure out their next steps. You can also purchase items for UMCOR relief kits. You can see the list of those items by clicking the link below. You can drop off donations listed above at the church.

We have been overwhelmed by your generosity and willingness to help. Please keep our friends and neighbors to the east in your prayers.
