Who We Are
We Believe In Blessing Others All The Time
B.O.A.T.T. was founded in 2012 by Sheila Brown-Jefferson with a simple yet powerful mission — to serve others with love. We provide essential resources to those experiencing homelessness, veterans, seniors, students, and underserved communities throughout Northeast Florida.
From school supplies to emergency rental assistance, personal care items to food support — we are here for the people who need it most. Guided by scripture and driven by compassion, we show up and serve.
