Hope Florida funding awards are made possible by the generosity of the Florida private sector and not at taxpayer expense.
“Thanks to the generosity of the private sector, we have the opportunity through the Hope Florida Fund to support nonprofits that are making a difference in their communities,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “It was heartwarming to meet with Wakulla Giving Hands today and volunteer alongside them as they serve Florida seniors.”
“Thanks to the compassionate and caring leadership of First Lady Casey DeSantis, Hope Florida has made a remarkable impact, not only benefiting Florida’s cherished seniors, but families all across our great state,” said Department of Elder Affairs Secretary Michelle Branham. “I’m thrilled we are recognizing the outstanding work of Wakulla Giving Hands. This hard-working and dedicated organization continues to champion, celebrate, and support our vibrant senior communities.”
