The College of the Florida Keys friends, employees and board members donated hundreds of new toys for local children and several boxes of food items at CFK’s annual Caribbean Holiday Party on Dec. 9.
CFK President Jonathan Gueverra, and his wife, Josephine, hosted the celebration that honored six decades of community impact while thanking everyone who contributes to the college’s mission.
“No holiday celebration would be complete without sharing what we have with our community,” said Gueverra. “The holiday celebration reminds us how fortunate we are to have the means to help those in need and give back to families who make the Florida Keys home.”
The toys will benefit children served by Samuel’s House, a Keys-based nonprofit organization that serves women, mothers with children and families from across Monroe County experiencing homelessness, domestic instability or crisis. Food donations went to Tuga Shelves, the college’s food pantry on the Key West campus serving students.
