About Us

Sharing & Caring opened its doors on January 2, 1985 as an emergency food bank providing a basic staple of foods for needy individuals and families. Originally established in a building donated by the First Baptist Church of Fort Walton Beach, we relocated to 126 Beal Parkway in June 1992. We are available to anyone who lives in Eglin AFB south to the Walton line on the East to the Santa Rosa County line to the West. We are an All-Volunteer Staff and an IRS approved non-profit charitable organization.

Our Prescription interviewers help with monetary vouchers for low income qualifying clients at 5 local pharmacies.

STEP ONE

Some people have asked what exactly does a Volunteer at S&C do? There are 3 steps in our process to serve our clients. The 1st is handled by the Receptionist. They greet clients entering our building and either sign up a new client or retrieve the filed application of clients already in the system. These applications are passed along to the Interviewer who initiates the 2nd step of the process.

STEP TWO

The second phase of the process is the Interviewer. This volunteer receives application from the Receptionist and then enters information into the computer for a new client or locates clients already in our system and updates information and enters that days visit!! The interviewer also collects 2 personal care items selected by client (about 10 items in our storage room).

STEP THREE

The 3rd and final phase is the actual collection of the food and presentation to the client at our collection window!!
