We would like to congratulate Independence Landing Board Member, Mary Stafford, on receiving the Mark Payne Service Award at this year`s United Partners for Human Services (@uphs.tallahassee) Conference for Excellence in Nonprofit Management & Leadership! 🎖🌟
The Mark Payne Service Award recognizes a business professional who has given years of service to the human services sector through support and advocacy. With over two decades of banking experience and an active involvement in a wide array of local nonprofit organizations, we feel that this award could not be more fitting for Mary to have received.
We`re so proud to call Mary part of our team. Send her some congratulations and gratitude for all the ways she pours her heart into our Tallahassee community. 💚🏠⬇

We love when our furry friends from TMH Animal Therapy (@tmhanimaltherapy) come to visit! They have been serving the Big Bend region with medical rehabilitation and senior services, courthouse therapy, reading education assistance dogs (R.E.A.D.), and more for over 40 years, and we couldn’t be more grateful to call them a partner. 💚

We extend our sincerest thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Corey Simon, and State Representative Allison Tant for their steadfast support of Independence Landing throughout this year’s state legislative budget cycle. 🏠
Their commitment to empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities has been instrumental in advancing our mission. Because of their advocacy, we are able to continue promising a safe, affordable community for those who need it most.
Thank you, Governor DeSantis, Senator Simon, and State Representative Tant, for supporting a brighter future for Florida’s Big Bend. 💚🌟
We’re so excited to announce our newly established agency endowment fund at the Community Foundation of North Florida!
