Barnabas is grateful for the kindness of the First Federal Bank of Florida. In honor of their 60th anniversary, First Federal shared 60 individual checks to 60 local non-profits. Barnabas was honored to be a recipient.
Barnabas has a very unique program that helps clients with transportation – Bikes for Barnabas. An hour walk to work can be reduced to 15 minutes by introducing a bike to the transportation equation. Previously owned bikes are repaired by Joel Beckman of the Cycling and Fitness Center, who then distributes the bikes to Barnabas clients in need. Joel has helped Barnabas with this program for many years with repairs and parts provided at cost – no labor costs included. The First Federal grant will allow Barnabas and the Cycling and Fitness Center to continue providing access to care and access to work.
Thank you, First Federal, for celebrating your anniversary with Barnabas. Your kindness will provide help and hope to individuals and families in need throughout Nassau County to improve their stability, health and well-being.
