County funding boosts HUGS’ effort to restock school food pantries in St. Johns County

Every first Friday of the month, the nonprofit HUGS Across the County organizes food deliveries to 21 schools across the county. They ask each school pantry what supplies are needed most to ensure they provide the right support. Volunteers like Dr. Linda Hilton, a U.S. Navy veteran, dedicate their time to helping feed these hungry children and their families.
