Feeding 100 Families on the First Coast
Dr. Adrian A. Gentry and Wealth Watchers Hosting the Grateful Giveaway
November 16, 2022
The Grateful Giveaway is set. One hundred families will receive a Thanksgiving basket filled with the holiday staples. Adrian A. Gentry, also known as Dr. Real Estate Jax, in partnership with Wealth Watchers Inc., is helping some First Coast residents have a Thanksgiving they will always remember. The inaugural giveaway is set for Nov. 22. “It’s important for families to connect, especially during the holidays. I want to make sure our neighbors in Jacksonville have all they need for their Thanksgiving meal. I once was homeless and know exactly what it feels like to be without the basics,” said Gentry, realtor with Sieva Realty, LLC. “By receiving the Thanksgiving items, I want families to have hope and spread love as they cook their meal together.” “We are honored to be a part of this meaningful partnership. It is important for families to be together on Thanksgiving Day. We want them to have what they need so they can prepare their meal together and enjoy time eating in their home on the holiday,” said Carrie Davis, Wealth Watchers president and CEO. The Thanksgiving basket will be filled with all the holiday staples – dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, collard greens and a sweet potato pie. Each family will also receive a gift card to purchase a turkey or ham. Gentry and Wealth Watchers will notify the selected families when they can pick up the items on Nov. 22.
Major USDA Funding for Farmers and Ranchers of Color
Wealth Watchers Awarded More Than $700,000 Over Three-Year Period
October 25, 2022
Big news for a nonprofit committed to building wealth for future generations! Wealth Watchers Inc. recently received more than $700,000 in grant funding over a three-year period to support underserved farmers in Northeast Florida and Georgia. The funding was made possible through the USDA’s 2501 Program. Wealth Watchers was one of two Florida agencies to receive money. Through this investment, USDA awarded a total of $36.1 million to 52 organizations.
“We are so honored to be a recipient. We will be able to help deserving farmers and ranchers acquire, own, operate and retain their agriculture businesses. We will assist them with establishing economically sustainable systems for farming, ranching and land conservation,” said Carrie Davis, Wealth Watchers president and CEO. “This funding will go to a long way in ensuring farmers of color have access to financial management, agribusiness education and more. This is another way for Wealth Watchers to build and create generational wealth.”
The funding will allow participants to implement outreach strategies such as on-farm demonstration projects, youth-related agriculture STEM programs and other USDA events. The Wealth Watchers team will partner with farmers and ranchers not only in Northeast Florida, but also North Florida and Southeast, Southwest and Central Georgia. The monetary investments are part of USDA’s commitment to take aggressive action to advance equity for all, especially farmers and producers in underserved communities.
