Local Groups To Be Honored With Power Of Service Awards
March 8, 2015
Two community service organizations with an influence in the North Escambia area will be honored during Gulf Power Company’s fourth annual Power of Service Awards on Tuesday.
The company started the Power of Service awards in 2012 as a way to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service and recognizes organizations that are dedicated to improving the lives of others.
The organizations being honored include the Health and Hope Clinic and the Town of Century for a its GED Scholarship Fund.
The recipients will receive an award as well as a grant from Gulf Power at the ceremony.
“When selecting Power of Service recipients we look for organizations that may fly under the radar screen and aren’t as well known as many others in the community,” said Gulf Power President and CEO Stan Connally. “The recipients this year provide services that are specifically tailored to the needs of our communities, and we want to not only recognize and celebrate this, but help them further enhance their programs.”
2015 Power of Service Award recipients include:
Town of Century/GED Scholarship Fund
Thirty-five percent of Century residents do not have their high school diploma or equivalent education. Because of this, Mayor Freddie W. McCall is working to raise funds for a GED Scholarship Fund. Mayor McCall’s goal is to increase the number of Century residents who have a high school equivalent education to ensure its residents are prepared to be an active part of the workforce.
The fund was established through a generous donation from Quint Studer in recognition of Buck Showalter’s successful baseball career and his early upbringing in Century.
Health and Hope Clinic
Health and Hope Clinic was established by the Pensacola Bay Baptist Association to help meet the needs of the uninsured and medically underserved in Escambia County.
With two locations serving Pensacola and Century, Health and Hope Clinic is an entirely volunteer- and donor-driven clinic and relies on the generosity of contributors and volunteers to accomplish their mission of “providing health and hope to the hurting.” The clinic has been one of the only health care providers available to the community since the Century location opened in 2011. With the Pensacola clinic opening in 2003, the two locations have provided more than $15 million in healthcare services and 18,000 patient/provider visits.
Health and Hope Clinic offers a wide variety of services to those in need, including primary medical care, dental services, preventative care, specialty care, prescription assistance, full laboratory services and more.
