Social Concerns Ministry's Thanksgiving Meal Baskets

NOV 2022 & 2023 I Social Concerns through Ascension Church helps families in need of assistance such as food, rent, utility bills, medication, gas, and more.


Each year Leonard Financial Group partners with Social Concerns and sponsors 10 local families in need to receive Thanksgiving meal baskets. Leonard Financial Group donates a Publix gift card to each family for the purchase of a Turkey or Ham, and then hosts a month long food drive where our clients bring in non perishable food items to fill up the rest of the baskets. 

It fills our hearts with joy at Leonard Financial Group to help make a difference in our local community!



Brevard Zoo's Safari Under the Stars Gala

APR 2023 & 2024 | Leonard Financial Group is a proud sponsor and attendee of the Safari Under the Stars gala - where all proceeds from our donation helps the Zoo's program initiatives.   

Safari Under the Stars Gala is a spectacular event where committed members of our community come together to celebrate the impacts and benefits delivered by the Zoo, made possible through the extraordinary support they receive. 

It is also an opportunity to hear about the Zoo's exciting plans for the future. Safari Under the Stars is an evening, filled with animal encounters, sumptuous culinary delights, tasty libations, signature entertainment, silent and live auctions, and a catered dinner – all for a great cause!

Each year, attendees of the Safari Under the Stars have the opportunity to rally around a specific Zoo need. This year’s 2024 project will focus on widespread improvements and upgrades serving our native Florida wildlife species. These funds will serve animals such as black bears, salamanders, grasshopper sparrows, sea turtles and manatees in addition to conservation and wellbeing initiatives.

Unlike other hospitals, the majority of St.Jude's funding comes from donors. This support allows families to never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.

Jeff and Julie Leonard generously give monthly to St. Jude to help with their mission to cure childhood cancer, and support families that are going through a challenging time.
