Since its inception, the First Coast Relief Fund has distributed nearly $9 million through 251 grants to 128 unique organizations in Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns counties. While the Relief Fund’s grant cycles are currently closed, we understand there are many people still very much in need of everyday assistance. Below is a collection of community resources where you can find help.
