Since the beginning of their project in October 2022, the Leadership Pensacola Class of 2023 has received a total of 21 sponsorships at levels $500 and above and 10 in-kind donations at various levels towards their project, LeaP for Change. In addition, they have had 98 donations at $499 and below which are primarily individuals.
The LeaP for Change project 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.
Leadership Pensacola 2023 is actively seeking both monetary and in-kind donations to help reach their goal. In addition to monetary and in-kind donations, the class is seeking donations such as non-perishable food and personal hygiene items as well as educational books for elementary school aged children and their families. By implementing these pantries and closet, it will help underserved communities have direct access to these resources.
