Rotary Club Shark Tank for Good Presentation

We are incredibly grateful to the Rotary Club of Palatka for awarding Hope FM a $5,000 Community Impact Grant for our Student Essentials Initiative! We initially applied, one of 22 deserving causes in our community, then were part of the top 5 who shared presentations in Shark Tank For Good. This is our portion of the day's event. Robin shared the story of our school supply and socks & underwear drives over the last ten years that have made a major difference in the lives of students. This grant will provide new socks and underwear to Putnam County elementary schools so they have these essential items on hand for children who need them—whether because of an accident, wet clothes, or financial hardship. It's a simple need that makes a big difference, giving students the comfort, confidence, and dignity to return to class ready to learn. A heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of Palatka for believing in this project and for giving us the opportunity to share our vision alongside so many other organizations doing incredible work in our community. We are honored to be among them. Together, we're helping meet needs that often go unseen—and making sure every child knows they matter.
