Default Helping in the Ocala National Forest

Does anyone know of a group that is doing anything to help the homeless people in the Ocala National Forest?

There are barrels in the rec centers (Laurel Manor) that collect pajama's for kids and maybe toys.???

Classy Ladies, Color Pencil Painters, our Village and there is a giving tree in the lobby of the Waterfront Inn.

St. Timothy has a collection area by the side door year 'round for those who need.

I bet any church that you would contact has such a plan in place.

In every rec center in TV is a red box that collects new pajamas and books for the over 6000 homeless children in Lake , Marion and Sumter County. This includes the children that live in the forest.
