Merge Community

As we reflect on all that’s been accomplished in 2025, I just want to say thank you. Your generosity and belief in serving SCPS students make this work possible, and we are deeply grateful for each of you.

A special thank you to those who have supported our partnership with The Picnic Project — together, we are meeting families right where they are with dignity, care, and consistency. And as always, thank you for continuing to stand with us in our ongoing work at Hamilton, where your support continues to make a real and lasting difference for students and families.

Because of you, meals are packed, needs are met, and hope is shared. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

Would love to see you for our first packing event of the year: January 6th - we will be there from 2-5pm - Inside the Neighborhood Co-Op - 419 S. Park Ave., Sanford, Florida

Praying 2026 is your best year yet!

💌 Hi friends!

We sent out a Merge Community email update this past week, but we’ve heard from a few people that it may have slipped into junk folders. Or some said they didn’t receive.

If you didn’t see it, would you mind checking there? We’d hate for you to miss our fun NEWS. If you didn’t receive please reach out to me 🙂

🌟 One of the things we’re most excited about is our Packing Event this Tuesday at 4pm!

This will be our first event with our new partnership with The Picnic Project 🧺

Thank you for being part of this journey with us — your support means the world. 💙

750 Bags Packed!

Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers! Your hard work means students have the food they need during their time away from school. The schools, families, and all of us are so grateful for you!

🎁 Spreading Holiday Cheer!🎁

We kicked off the week delivering gifts to **Hamilton Elementary** and **Crooms Academy**—and it was all thanks to YOU! Your support helped us clear our list and ensure every student had their personal holiday wishes checked off. 🎄✨

But we’re not done yet... *Next up: TEACHER SURPRISE!* 🎉 If you’d like to help bless a teacher with an extra monetary gift this Christmas, there’s still time! Donations are needed by **Sunday, December 15th.**

Let’s keep the holiday magic going!

Two amazing packing events this week! Over 1000 bags packed for 7 schools!

Thank you to all our friends for showing UP! AND Thank you to Millennium Middle School - Seminole County Public Schools Beta Club for setting records today!
