This week, Helping Hands of Florida Keys delivered a check to HOB school for $3,484.97 to help clear past-due student lunch balances.

And this is HUGE… on October 6, 2026, HOB had a ZERO past-due lunch balance!!!

This was made possible by local candidates for office who chose to donate their leftover campaign funds back to our community.

A huge thank you to Darren Horan - Monroe County School Board Dist. 1 for suggesting this idea to other candidates and for donating, along with Danise Deedee Gil Henriquez, Capt. Tim Urbanski - Key West Utility Board Member, Seat D and Greg Sullivan for Key West Commissioner District 5 Your generosity made a direct impact on local students and families.
