Brighter Holidays: SECO Energy Foundation Awards $5,000 to Charity Across South Lake

Clermont, FL -12/16/2024 – The SECO Energy Foundation is proud to award a $5,000 grant to Charity Across South Lake, a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to supporting families in south Lake County during times of hardship. This funding will enhance the organization’s efforts to bring joy to children during the holiday season.

Founded in 2020, Charity Across South Lake bridges the gap between nonprofits, schools, churches, civic groups, and local municipalities to ensure that families in need receive targeted assistance without duplication. By streamlining resources and collaborating directly with trusted partner organizations, the group enables families to focus on their essentials—like groceries, utilities, and prescriptions—without sacrificing the joy of a holiday celebration.

“Last year, we were able to provide Christmas gifts and books to over 4,000 children,” said Michelle Michnoff, President of Charity Across South Lake. “With support from the SECO Energy Foundation, we’ll be able to continue providing much-needed relief to families in our community, giving them hope during challenging times.”

The organization works in collaboration with local partners such as Find, Feed & Restore, Hands of Hope, and Headstart Clermont, among others, to ensure families are equipped with the tools and resources to build brighter futures. Additionally, its partnership with major retailers amplifies its impact by securing discounts to maximize toy and supply purchases for the community.

“Charity Across South Lake embodies the spirit of community, bringing people and organizations together to make a meaningful difference,” said Michael Hein, SECO Energy Foundation District 8 Board Member. “We are thrilled to support their efforts and help make the holidays brighter for so many families in need.”
