The Who I Am Foundation

We are so proud of Avon Park and are honored to be part of this community.

Two phone calls today began with the words, "you are not going to believe this."

My first thought was, "Oh, yes, I will," because over these five-plus years, I have witnessed countless miracles.

I do not take this for granted and am amazed at what God is doing through this little foundation. We thought we would only serve 200 people, but by the end of this year, that number will be over 18,000, and we will have expanded into Southern California and deeper into South Carolina. I only regret not writing down every single one of these "you're not going to believe this" calls. The Who I Am Foundation God has been so good to us.

A huge thank you to the incredible team at Seacoast Bank in Avon Park for helping us prepare for our Christmas in July Pajama & Sneaker Drive! 💙

One of the most exciting sights has been watching the towers of collection boxes grow at our office, ready to be placed throughout Highlands County.

These collection boxes will appear at businesses, organizations, and churches across Highlands County very soon. If your business, organization, or church would like to serve as a collection site, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks to community partners like Seacoast Bank, we're building the foundation for a successful drive that will benefit local children in need.

Interested in participating in the Pajama & Sneaker Drive? Call (863) 453-4840 or contact us at [email protected] to learn how you can help.
