Executive Director’s Column: Giving & Gratitude
Outside of my birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite times of year. I favor these because they combine two things I have come to value: giving and being grateful. In many cases, 2023 for LISC Jacksonville has provided for me another year of doing both professionally.

LISC Jacksonville Mass Shooting Statement August 2023
In the wake of the heinous act of violence that was committed in the New Town community over the weekend, our hearts are heavy with grief for the three innocent lives lost and the deep pain felt by the entire Jacksonville community. We stand alongside the families of the victims, and our hearts will always be with our Black and African American neighbors and all community members deeply affected by this irretrievable act of violence.
Racism has shown its deplorable face yet again in our community.
This tragedy again reminds us of the importance of unity, compassion, understanding, and a collective commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of every member of our community. We sadly remain at a critical juncture, and we must work even harder and strengthen our resolve to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again.
Hate has no place here, and we must all remain vigilant in protecting our freedom and our peace that everyone in this country is promised.
As we deeply mourn the lives lost, let us also honor their memory by redoubling our efforts to actively foster a community rooted in equality, tolerance, and unity.
