Guests paid $25 to the Clara White Mission for access to the event which featured local celebrity guests. News4JAX anchors Bruce Hamilton and Melanie Lawson helped serve food, and meteorologist Richard Nunn hosted the event.
Jacksonville City Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman, CEO and president of the Clara White Mission, said she was happy to be back and helping those in our area.
“I am just excited that after COVID that we can come back and serve the community,” Pittman said.
