The Leadership Pensacola Class of 2023 announced their class project, LeaP for Change, which is an initiative that will benefit both the Children’s Home Society, Care Closet at C.A. Weis Elementary School, and Feeding the Gulf Coast. This initiative will provide and build Feeding the Gulf Coast food pantries in Ebonwood, Wedgewood, and Brownsville community centers and a Children’s Home Society hygiene closet at C.A. Weis Elementary School. By implementing these pantries and closet, it will help underserved communities have direct access to nutritious non-perishable food, hygiene items, and educational resources.
“The two projects selected by this year’s Leadership Pensacola class will have a tremendous positive impact on our community,” stated Todd Thompson, President/CEO at the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce. “These projects will assist those working to better themselves and their families.” Over the year, the class is aiming to raise at least $60,000 which will help with any project costs such as building, construction, and items for the pantries and closet. Leadership Pensacola 2023 is currently seeking both monetary and in-kind donations to help reach their goal.
