Thank You! Powiggs and Smoke on the Coast

Visit Powiggs BBQ on Facebook & @ Yelp
The Fresh Start for Children and Families crew enjoyed a day of fun and fund-raising during the Smoke On The Coast at the Destin Commons on July 3, 2018. The annual charity event pairs local non-profits and BBQ experts in a cook-off competition. This year Fresh Start and Po-Wiggs Barbecue won 3rd place people's choice award! The biggest win was the chance to raise community awareness about the homeless and our programs. It was a great day!

Repeat Street

We are in need of friendly people who want to spend a few hours per week volunteering at our beautiful and busy Thrift Store.

We have lots of great folks, but because we are SO blessed with donations and shoppers we need MORE friendly people! More cashiers, more donation sorters, delivery drivers, etc. If you have time, energy, and a smile we can use you!
