One of the Harbor Docks family’s favorite quotes is “it is better to give than to receive.”
Reflecting on our past year we found this to be true once
again. As we think about our favorite moments in 2013, our annual free
Thanksgiving Day Dinner was continuously on the top of our lists.
With the support of the Destin community, over 200
volunteers and our tirelessly hardworking staff we were able to feed 1,475
people a free Thanksgiving dinner. Proceeds from the day broke the most
successful Thanksgiving of the 19 we have hosted to date raising $20,565 for
the Okaloosa Habitat for Humanity and Destin Harvest.
We started this event as a small gathering for people in
need nineteen years ago and it has now grown into an event hosting thousands
coming from a range of economic backgrounds.
This is a tradition we are proud to continue and we look
forward to striving to give back in 2014 and make more of an impact on our
community than ever before.
Join us in our challenge and give back. Remember it is
better to give that to receive! Happy 2014!
