Headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, Panhandle Warrior Partnership serves all veterans throughout Florida's First Congressional District. They offer a holistic approach to serving veterans of NW Florida with a mentorship and advocacy program that ensures veterans and their families have access to services and benefits they need while helping to provide a safety net to those families that may need more assistance.
With the help of their staff, local community and volunteers, PWP delivered boxes of food to 50 Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Escambia County veterans and their families. The food was collected from generous donors and organizations in the community. Volunteers worked hard to make sure the boxes were decorated, filled with food and even had a Christmas card in each one.
BAE Systems hosted a food drive and presented the food to PWP at their annual staff Christmas lunch; Eglin Air Force Base had a unit collect items; Ever'man Corporation donated seven cases of Farmer's pumpkin and eight cases of Arrowhead Mills stuffing; and Manna Food Bank donated 20 boxes of food and cookies.
Panhandle Warrior Partnership is a non-profit organization that focuses on providing veterans and their families various resources. For details call 850-476-0662, email panhandlewarriors@outlook.com or see www.panhandlewarriors.org.
