Happy Monday!

I do have limited donations, but donations available nonetheless! I’m putting together baskets this week and happy to meet, deliver, or arrange for pickup.

If you are or know a family in need, please send a request to Facebook messenger or to our email at [email protected]

We are 100% nonprofit organization and can only operate with the generous donations from our community. Have donations? Please consider our organization! We’re happy to pickup from you. ❤️

Food baskets available for those in need! I’m currently unavailable to deliver but will meet in the Mandarin or Fruit Cove area.

I understand many of us area feeling the pinch; however, these baskets are intended for those who otherwise would go without.

If you are someone in need or know of someone, please reach out directly and we will arrange a time and location to meet.

Thanks!

Happy (rainy) Wednesday!

It’s been a super busy morning sorting nonperishables and packing food baskets. I have a few people on my list in need and will get these out to them on Friday!

This is only a small portion of nonperishables we have in stock and a lot more to sort and pack! If you have any nonperishables to donate, please consider donating to us! We’re always happy to pickup for you if you’re in the NE Florida area.

Thank you all who donate and help keep my mission alive ❤️

It’s Thursday and that means it’s Friday Eve… almost the weekend (think positive thoughts!)…

I need help. I have a family without a refrigerator and I’d love to help them find one. Do you have one to donate? If not, a small monetary donation towards one? I’m happy to come pickup and deliver to them if so!

Deliveries are heading out this weekend if you are on our list to receive a basket for this week. ❤️

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I want to sincerely apologize for the months of downtime. As many of you know, The Front Porch Project is a one-woman operation, and I recently suffered a knee injury that significantly slowed down my ability to serve our community.

I appreciate your understanding and patience during these past few challenging months. I'm happy to say that I am now back and ready to get back to work. Our list for those in need of food baskets is officially reopened. Please note that deliveries are currently only available for St. Johns, Clay, and Duval Counties and on a first come, first serve basis — and of course dependent on donations available.

To get on the list for a food basket or another family in need, please send us a message.

Thank you for your continued support and for standing by us. Together, we can continue making a difference.

Sincerely,

Kristel Schimpff
The Front Porch Project

Another Front Porch delivery thanks to all of our amazing donors! Guys, I can’t thank you enough for all the generous donations — without you, I wouldn’t be able to help families in need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support keeping my mission alive since 2020! ❤️

Hey guys! I hope everyone has the most amazing Thanksgiving with friends and family! I’m on the mend from another battle with COVID and a lot torn meniscus (do not recommend either much more so simultaneously 🙄) and finally feeling able to get back to setting up and delivering baskets. I have over 100 inquiries in my email for families and my goal is to help everyone… just please be patient with me as this is a very busy season for us!

Once I’m back up and going, I’ll start posting updates again!

Happy Saturday!

Good beautiful morning!

Over the past couple of weeks, I have received well over 100 emails and messages from families in need. I’m a one person operation so its taking me just a bit of time to respond to everyone but I am working on it!

Our donations are currently very low but I am anticipating a delivery from some very generous donors very soon. Once I have the donations, I’ll be able to get back to work on taking care of our families who are in need. ❤️

If anyone would like to donate, please send me a message to arrange for pickup or delivery.

Thank you!
