Atlantic Cares throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19. That's all that needs to be said. Guidelines alter our daily lives, shifting the way we do business.

They also shift the way we give as well.

In normal circumstances, our Atlantic Cares Initiative would be in full swing, with team members   volunteering throughout Northeast Florida. Yet, as we all know times have changed.

Jan Merson, Rob Hooper, and Vikki Stark all load up with donations for First Coast Women's Services.

Given the restrictions, the company decided to do a drive and collect items requested for First Coast Women's Services, a local non-profit geared towards helping folks deal with unplanned pregnancies.

"Since volunteering during this time of COVID-19 is non-existent, my company, Atlantic Logistics decided to put together a drive to collect baby items needed at First Coast Women's Services," said Jan Merson, Executive Assistant and Office Manager, " I was so happy to see the turnout of items by our employees, as was the staff of the facility."

Overall the team donated several boxes of diapers, baby wipes, and clothing as well as other requested items.

"I feel so blessed to be able to volunteer at First Coast Women's Services in Mandarin," continues Merson, "any time we can help anyone in any situation, it is a blessing. Especially when it comes to young mothers."

Faith-based First Coast Women's Services provides pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, community referrals, options counseling, and pregnancy tests. All their services are free of charge, according to their website.
