  • Outstanding community service!
    One would think that our City or County Government would offer a service to our Community versus all the virtue signaling.

  • WHERE OH WHERE IS Alachua County EMERGENCY MANAGMENT? THEY GET MONEY TO TEACH AND PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION. WHERE IS OUR TAX DOLLARS GOING???

  • The Florida Baptist disaster relief organization, which may be affiliated with, or have inspired this, is a fine organization. I find a desire to help, a desire to serve at the heart…..Samaritan’s purse is another, as well as the salvation army. I love what ya’ll are doing!
