Devastating House Fire in Spanish Fort

Our hearts go out to a local family in the Spanish Fort community who recently experienced a devastating house fire.

Christmas Outreach for Ruff Wilson Youth Organization

As the holiday season is upon us, we have 20 local children needing help with Christmas gifts. The goal at Ruff Wilson Youth Organization in Daphne is to provide $150 in either Target or Walmart gift cards to the parents for each of these children so there will be gifts under the tree. During these tough economic times, this may very well be the only gift the children receive this year. The deadline for donations is 12/1/24 to allow enough time for parents to shop.
Financial contributions in any amount are very much appreciated. Just click "I Can Help" and donating instructions will be sent. Thank you so much for helping make Christmas special for the children in our community.
