Community volunteerism and helping to feed the less fortunate are what Andrea Bryant-Smith and her organization, Circle of Caring Sweet purpose is all about. This outreach, which services families all around Jacksonville, primarily in the Eastside and Springfield communities, is a group of dedicated volunteers and led by our friend Andrea Bryant-Smith. They provide access to essential food, clothing & resources to families & children.

“This (is) some proof that this is our purpose…..Started many years ago Out East feeding /clothing 150 plus from our house on Union street and a field on Franklin Street with my family and volunteers. We are now helping well over 300 ppl from a church in Springfield but still supporting East Jacksonville , Springfield and now Southside as well, (food desert areas they now call them). We are still evolving, teaching and loving on our community. Keep watching us win and grow. We are living proof that God makes provision for his Vision. Help is still needed to continue this work” – Andrea Bryant-Smith. *
