Kindness in the Community

Angels for Allison

Our Community First team had the privilege of volunteering with Angels for Allison, The Allison Brundick Haramis Foundation. We’re grateful for the chance to support their mission of alleviating the financial burden of funeral costs associated with the loss of a child. To date, they’ve provided comfort and assistance to more than 1,200 families across Northeast Florida.

As part of our volunteer experience, our team hand-painted angel ornaments to be sent to grieving families, each accompanied by a handwritten note guided by a heartfelt script.

To learn more or support the important work Angels for Allison does for our community, please visit their website.
