James B. Sanderlin Neighborhood Family Center

🍴 Cooking Club with Boys & Girls Club of the Suncoast! 🍴 We're excited to announce that the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast Boys & Girls Club of the Suncoast (BGCS) is bringing their expertise to The Sanderlin Center! 🌟 BGCS is providing all the materials and food for our middle schoolers to enjoy a Cooking Club every Friday throughout the school year. This week, our young chefs kicked off the program by making delicious parfaits! 🍓🥄 Cooking is an essential life skill that teaches our students about nutrition and kitchen safety while also fostering creativity, teamwork, and responsibility. Through this partnership, our students are gaining the tools to make healthy choices, build self-confidence, and develop skills that will benefit them now and in the future. Their wellbeing is at the heart of this initiative, and we're so grateful to BGCS for helping us create a positive impact in their lives. 🙌 Thank you, BGCS, for your invaluable partnership! Together, we’re nourishing the minds and bodies of our future leaders. 💪 #CookingClub #LifeSkills #Wellbeing #YouthEmpowerment #BGCS #SanderlinCenter #CommunityPartnership Freddy Williams, MBA MUSIC CREDIT🎶 Music: Accra Musician: Jeff Kaale

🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You to BayFirst Bank! 🌟 We are deeply grateful to BayFirst Bank for their incredible support of The Future Bankers Program at Sanderlin Summer Camp. Thanks to a generous donor, each of our campers will have the opportunity to open a $150 BayFirst Kids Club savings account to start building wealth. BayFirst Bank has matched this amount, doubling the impact with an additional $150! 💰🌟 The excitement among our campers has been palpable. The day after BayFirst's visit, some children grabbed BayFirst fliers and set up a table at the front of the room, pretending to be bankers. They handed out flyers, offering to help open $300 savings accounts with just a QR code scan. This response has been overwhelming, and the feedback from parents and children is one of complete gratitude. 🙏 BayFirst Bank's support is truly changing lives and making a lasting impact on our community. Thank you for empowering our youth and helping them understand the importance of financial literacy. Together, we are building a brighter future. 🌟💪 #BayFirst #FinancialLiteracy #ChangingLives #Gratitude #MakeAnImpact
