[Recognition]  Chuck Johnston Honored at SRQ's Good Hero Luncheon
Barbie Heit, barbie.heit@srqme.com

Each year, SRQ Media invites the community to nominate individuals with hearts of giving who have made a significant impact with local nonprofit organizations — from volunteers and board members to individual staff members and donors. Tuesday, December 5, attendees happily joined together to recognize our annual Good Hero Philanthropic Award recipients at the SB2: Philanthropic Agenda and Good Hero Awards Luncheon at Michael’s on East in Sarasota. We are delighted to feature each of the twelve honorees in our Wednesday Philanthropic edition of SRQ Daily.

Today we are recognizing Chuck Johnston, Owner of 2J Farms. Chuck has been an active volunteer for Resilient Retreat the last four years helping with fundraising events, property clean up and property maintenance, all in support of their mission to provide free, confidential, evidence-based programs and support to trauma survivors including first responders. Chuck knows something about the world of a first responder and the compassion fatigue they feel from all that they witness--he made a career out of responding to disasters. He joined the Sarasota Fire Department in 1972, serving more than a decade as a station captain and then chief of rural operations. In 1999, he joined the Florida Division of Forestry, leading efforts fighting wildfires. He’s managed emergency disaster response to floods and hurricanes and even served as interim chief of emergency management.

As Hurricane Ian bore down on southwest Florida in September 2022, Chuck wasn’t frightened, but he was concerned about potential catastrophic destruction to his community. “We have a higher sense of reality,” he says of disaster responders. “And the reality is, the storm is going to kick your butt. I know the potential of what we need to be prepared for it. It was scary as the storm was going through, but the next morning, you went out to help people,” he says. “And when that was done, only then did you go home to clean up your own yard.”

[Fundraising Event]  All Faiths Food Bank Presents Annual Walk to End Summer Hunger

All Faiths Food Bank (AFFB) has announced the return of a signature annual event to raise awareness and funds to end child hunger. On Sunday, March 24, AFFB will present its Walk to End Summer Hunger – the kickoff for the 11th annual Campaign Against Summer Hunger. Nearly 50% of Sarasota County and 100% of DeSoto County students rely on free and reduced-cost meals at school. The Campaign supports efforts to feed area children during the summer months when they no longer receive those meals. AFFB estimates that more than 40,000 local kids will need food this summer. On top of an already high cost of living and growing inflation, Florida has opted out of the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (Summer EBT) program, which would have provided $250 million in funding to help families in need buy food this summer.  Through the food bank’s partners and summer programs, AFFB works to make sure children receive the nutritional assistance they need. Support from investors – who contribute matching funds to inspire greater widespread giving – and the community are critical to these efforts. From April 1-May 15, the Campaign – the community’s strongest line of defense against child hunger – gratefully accepts community contributions designated toward ending hunger for local children. AFFB is thankful for lead investors Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation and Gulf Coast Community Foundation for helping to fund the significant challenge match, as well as the more than 300 community partners – including schools, libraries, early learning centers, summer camps, community centers and numerous other organizations throughout Sarasota and DeSoto counties – that help the organization reach all who might be in need. The 2024 Campaign Against Summer Hunger Chair, Lisa Krouse, is determined to rally the community in the effort to ensure healthy foods are available for our community’s children. In 2023, the Campaign raised over $2 million. With this support, nearly 38,000 local children received nutritious meals, through 331 programs and partners. Since its inception in 2014, donors have given more than $16 million to the Campaign. The walk takes place Sunday, March 24, at Nathan Benderson Park; organizers expect approximately 500 members of the community to participate. The site opens at 7:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 8:30 a.m. Participants can choose between a one-mile “fun walk” or a 5K walk. The cost, which is $25/adults and $15/children, includes a T-shirt and light breakfast. Register by March 13 at affb.org/walk. For more information, contact Becky Wright: bwright@allfaithsfoodbank.org or 941-549-8131. For more about All Faiths Food Bank, visit allfaithsfoodbank.org or call 941-379-6333. 

[Nonprofit News]  Philanthropists Host Safe Children Coalition Youth Shelter Campaign Event

Child welfare organization Safe Children Coalition (SCC) recently held a “Cocktails and Conversation” event, in support of its ongoing Youth Shelter capital campaign. The event, attended by approximately 70 people, brought together current and prospective donors to learn more about SCC and the critical need for the new Youth Shelter for at-risk youths in our community, and to announce a $500,000 challenge match. The hosts for the event were Veronica Brady and Keith Monda, and Pete and Joan Powers. Each couple offered their “whys” for supporting the new Youth Shelter; all are dedicated advocates for youth. SCC’s board chair, Brian Goodrich, introduced longtime child welfare advocate and SCC president and CEO Brena Slater, who discussed the work of the organization and the critical importance of a new and improved Youth Shelter in protecting and providing resources in support of a better future for homeless youths ages 10-17. The highlight of the program was an announcement of a $500,000 challenge match from Bob and Joan Geyer, in partnership with Gulf Coast Community Foundation. The Youth Shelter is the only facility designated for homeless teens for Sarasota and Desoto counties and serves youth from Manatee County too. Many of the teens served enter the shelter because of a mental health crisis (four out of five youths in the shelter arrive there after being released from a Baker Act stay at a local hospital facility) and/or a parent’s inability to cope with a youth who is out of control. For the past four years, the SCC Youth Shelter has been first or second in facility utilization out of the 16 shelters in the Florida Network and exceeded contracted bed days. Currently, the shelter is at a smaller, temporary location until the new facility can be built, which has limited the number of teens that can be helped. There are more than 2,000 teens who are homeless in the 12th Judicial Circuit (Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties); the new Youth Shelter is expected to alleviate a waiting list of teens in need of shelter services. The Youth Shelter campaign has raised well over half of what the SCC expects the facility to cost; additional community support is crucial to getting the effort over the goal line. For more about Safe Children Coalition, or to inquire about the challenge match to build the new Youth Shelter, contact Jacqueline House at jhouse@sccfl.org or call 941-371-4799, ext. 1127.

[SOON]  SEMINAR: One Book, One Community , March 1, 10:30am and 7pm

Join Yong at 10:30 a.m. Suncoast Technical College, 4445 Career Lane, North Port, and 7 p.m. Selby Library, 1331 First St., Sarasota. An Immense World was chosen as the 2024 One Book, One Community selection. The book explores the various ways in which animals perceive their environment. While many people may be familiar with some of these senses, most are outside of the human range of perception. Yong encourages readers to go beyond what they think they know to better understand themselves and the world around them. His combination of anecdotal encounters in conjunction with scientific research contributes a light-hearted, often humorous approach. In addition to author talks, Sarasota County Libraries and Historical Resources are offering animal-themed programming to complement the book throughout February and March. There is no registration for Yong's author talks. Seating is available on a first-come, first-seated basis. There will be books available for sale and book signing by the author at both presentations. For additional information, please visit www.SarasotaCountyLibraries.org or call 311 or 941-861-1110.
