Featured Story — JAX Business Calendar

"She Could Have Kept Walking. Instead, She Started BOATT."

JAX Business Calendar spotlighted our founder, Sheila Brown-Jefferson, and the story behind B.O.A.T.T. — how a walk along Jacksonville's Riverwalk fourteen years ago, and a decision to hand out hygiene kits instead of walking past, grew into a nonprofit serving the homeless, Veterans, seniors, students, and families across Northeast Florida.

Read the full Community Spotlight and share it with someone who might just decide not to keep walking.

About B.O.A.T.T.

We Believe in Blessing Others All The Time

Founded in 2012, B.O.A.T.T. (Blessing Others All The Time, Inc.) provides resources to people dealing with homelessness and financial hardships across Northeast Florida. Our team connects directly with people in need — providing school supplies for children, personal care items for the homeless, and essential resources for the under-served community.

Guided by Luke 6:38 and Galatians 5:13, we are called to serve others with love, integrity, and compassion — because service is not just what we do, it is who we are.
