HOT GRANT NEWS SUMMER 2021

May & June 2021 Satchel's customers supported Round Up For Charity and Satchel's was able to give One Love Prison Meditation Project $3100!!! One Love PMP provides weekly meditation classes for over 80 incarcerated people at Florida State Prison, Gadsden Re-Entry Center, Cross City Correctional, and Lawtey Correctional Institution.  

"One Love Prison Meditation Project is the most beneficial activity I have participated in while being incarcerated. The power of meditating in a group collective is incredible and through that I have reached levels of meditation that I did not think were possible for me. After group meditation I leave with a sense of peace and fulfillment I have never before experienced. The feeling of peace can sometimes stay with me for days after. The group has developed a place of love and brotherhood that I have never experienced in prison. One Love PMP is extremely beneficial for anyone. From the first time meditator to the life long student of meditation."


2021 Second Quarter Satch Cares Grant $1500 was awarded to Center for Independent Living - NCFCILNCF will use these funds to help build more wheelchair ramps for our community members that do not have access in or out of their homes. Covid has amplified the insolation of so many and especially those who need a wheelchair ramp. When our customers use Satchel's ATM machines they support so many wonderful nonprofits in Alachua County.


As an extra grant Satch is giving $1000 to Come Together Productions to help support a new local radio station, 90.1 WMBT.
