Destin Harvest has been presented a truly valuable opportunity to maximize monetary donations. For every contribution made by an individual donor under $15k, DH has a private benefactor who will match the contribution 100%. If you are considering making a donation for $500. It will immediately become a $1000 donation to DH’s operation. This is an awesome time to make a contribution to Destin Harvest.

DH received a generous contribution from Integrity Chiropractic last week from their Get Well program which benefits a different local charity each month. Their donation will make the difference of 2,888 meals this month!

DH is piloting a nutritional education program to assist residents of local shelters with valuable information on how to prepare food cost effectively. Mariah Reynolds, a local teacher and community advocate with years of food knowledge, has passionately spearheaded the initiative and organized the first class earlier this week at F.R.E.S.H Start, a comprehensive educational, vocational, and economic housing program in Fort Walton Beach. A total of 12 women from the program attended the class.

Mariah provided folders and info-sheets on multiple recipes including how to prepare and roast a whole chicken, Chicken Soup with Rice and Noodles, and Italian Bean Stew. She also included safe handling tips and techniques on additional sheets.

DH brought a chicken 🙂

The whole room was truly engaged with the content and happy to have a discussion about food and food preparation. It makes a big difference for those attending to simply have something like this course to look forward to.

DH is grateful for Mariah’s passion to make this effort a reality. She is planning more of these classes throughout the year. We are so excited.

DH has been fortunate to receive some outstanding contributions from local businesses and supporters in February and March. We would like to show our appreciation for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, BE-CI, Fifth Generation, Inc., among our loyal individual donors for their generous support.

Also big thank you to all our food donors and friends in the community that help DH mobilize food to feeding programs.

We are grateful and honored to announce that Destin Harvest has received a $5k matching grant from First Nation Group! This is a tremendous contribution to our operation and a great opportunity for others to make a donation in tandem! Every fourteen cents covers the operating cost for one pound of food, or meal, DH is able to deliver for free to feeding programs in NWFL! Thank you First Nation Group!!
