United for a Good Cause Inc. recently donated a total of $5,000 that will help families affected by last year’s Hurricane Michael. They donated $4,000 to Jinks Middle School in Panama City and $1,000 to Food For Thought Outreach’s back pack program. The donation was made possible by a $5,000 grant that U4aGC was awarded by the NY Life Foundation to support the organization’s efforts to help the community, and especially the youth, affected by Hurricane Michael.
U U4aGC Treasurer, Michael Gayles, presented a $1,000 check donation to Tiffanie Nelson (on Michael’s right), Founder & CEO of Food For Thought Outreach and Dinelle Putman, Program Director.
