Catholic Charities in Ft. Walton Beach Seeking Food Donations With the holidays just around the corner, Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida is preparing to provide Thanksgiving meals to nearly 200 local families in need. The charity, whose Fort Walton Beach office serves residents of both Okaloosa and Walton counties, is in great need of traditional Thanksgiving foods as well as other staples in order to meet the demand. While all donations are welcome, there is a particular need for the following items: stuffing mix, corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, potato mixes (mashed, scalloped, etc.), gravy (canned or mix) pie filling, soup, other canned vegetables, pork and beans and other canned or dry beans, corn muffin mix and macaroni and cheese. In addition, cash donations are always welcome. Donations may be dropped off at the Catholic Charities food pantry located at 11 First Street in Fort Walton Beach, or arrangements can be made for pick-up. The pantry is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for donation drop-offs, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for people seeking assistance with groceries.
