COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Building Beds, Building Hope

That’s why we’re proud to support Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need right here along the Emerald Coast.

Together with SHP volunteers, our team helps ensure that no child sleeps on the floor in our town.
