The Stuckey Community Improvement Group Inc. would like to sincerely thank the City of Groveland, FL for allowing us the opportunity to provide breakfast at such a meaningful celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was an amazing occasion, and we are grateful to be part of a moment rooted in unity, service, and reflection.

Special thanks to the Mount Olive Baptist Church of Stuckey leadership team for their incredible support. There’s no way this could have been done without you.

Thank you to our amazing committee (NOT ALL PICTURED) for always stepping up, and to everyone who joined us. We are grateful to serve such a wonderful community.

Yes, it’s a late post… but it’s worth it. ❤️🎄
This past Christmas, the Stuckey Community Improvement Group hosted Christmas on the Loop, bringing joy, love, and holiday magic to the kids of the South Lake County community.

We had an amazing day filled with bounce houses, games, a candy bar, music, and plenty of laughter. The food was deliciously handled by Lingo’s Fish & Loaves Grille , and the smiles said it all. 🎁✨

A HUGE thank you to every donor, supporter, and volunteer who helped make this day possible. Your generosity continues to light up our community in the best ways.
