A routine community visit turned into a heartwarming moment of generosity last week as Forest Lake Estates HOA presented a significant donation to support local children in need.
Joe Simmons, director of the organization, met with the HOA to share updates on the foundation’s mission and upcoming initiatives. During the visit, the Forest Lake Estates community surprised Simmons with a sizable contribution—one large enough to provide nearly 5,000 meals for children enrolled in the foundation’s program.
The donation will help ensure that children throughout the area continue to receive nutritious meals, especially during times when families may struggle to keep food on the table. With needs growing and resources often stretched thin, contributions like this one play a vital role.
Forest Lake Estates residents are proud to support a mission that directly benefits children within their own community, and Simmons left the meeting encouraged by the continued collaboration.
As the foundation prepares for several upcoming projects, this act of kindness serves as another reminder of the generous spirit that defines Zephyrhills and its surrounding neighborhoods.
