Purpose shows up in powerful ways.

Our Engagement & Marketing Coordinator Maya Francis recently led a Purpose Workshop at Sulzbacher Village for Women and Children, creating space for meaningful reflection with moms navigating transitional housing. With support from our Organizations & Wellbeing Coordinator Ben McKissick-Hawley, the workshop carried on with babies in arms and honest conversations at the center.

Together, participants explored what purpose means to them, even in the midst of life’s hardest moments. A reminder that purpose isn’t something we find later. It’s something we can begin to shape right where we are.

You’re invited to a Zoom conversation focused on diabetes in Jacksonville and its connection to nutrition and dining practices. The discussion will bring together clinicians, nutrition professionals, and local partners to explore ways restaurants can adapt menu offerings, support diabetes-friendly dining choices, and consider cultural relevance and accessibility in under-resourced Jacksonville neighborhoods. Insights from the conversation will help inform a Diabetes-Friendly Dining Guide for the community.
