Christian Community Development Fund, Gulf County, Florida

Student Partnerships

Auburn University Students ‐ Each spring and summer for the past 4 years over 200 students from Auburn University have come to Port St. Joe during their breaks from school to partner with the CCDF in repairing and cleaning the homes of the elderly and disabled citizens of Port St. Joe.

Every summer students from all over the country come to Gulf County to spend a week volunteering with a group called Team Effort and helping our citizens in need through a variety of service, construction and cleanup projects.

Student Thank You

Volunteers provide the backbone of the CCDF allowing us to leverage funds in order to serve more clients.

Local High School Clubs, Athletic Teams & Church Youth Groups - partner with the CCDF by helping with yard clean-up, pressure washing, painting and various other small rehabs for the elderly and disabled homeowners of Gulf County.
