Florida Children’s Home Society Faces Bank Crisis and Closures
The Florida Children’s Home Society warns that bank failures across the state have crippled its finances. With 889 children in care, leaders fear closing at least two receiving homes in Lakeland and Miami and possibly two more in Jacksonville and Pensacola within 30 days unless immediate funds arrive to cover food, clothing, and basic needs. The Lakeland branch saw nearly $1,000 erased by a bank failure, Miami’s income is halved due to the community chest slowdown, Pensacola pledges have fallen 35 percent, and Jacksonville revenue is down over $7,000 in six months.
