Ken Hearda, 80, is one of the 135 veterans who were experiencing homelessness in 2024. Now, he's got a life-changing opportunity, thanks to Operation Barnabas and Operation Lifeline in Clay County.

Join the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the Clay County School Board Police, Green Cove Springs Police Department, Orange Park Police Department, Clay County Emergency Management, Clay County Fire Rescue and Operation Barnabas for a chili cook off! Proceeds raised will go towards a local Clay County kid, Shane, who is currently fighting cancer. See you December 18 at 2pm at Whiteys Fish Camp.
