Good morning, St. Augustine.
🏘️ Community
The St. Johns County Public Library System is running a Food for Fines program until Dec.
21—each nonperishable food item reduces overdue book fines by $2—while helping stock the county's Food Pantry and support Firefighters for Families.
St. Augustine’s Rock the Pantries Food Drives collected 31,200 pounds of food at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre and Ponte Vedra Concert Hall to restock local pantries—community officials and volunteers distributed the donations to help residents facing high food demand.
Old Town Trolley Tours launched its 13th annual Light Up the Night Contest and invited businesses and residents in St. Johns County to show off their best holiday lighting displays.
Running from Nov. 21 to Jan. 11, the contest offers nearly $8,000 in prizes and media packages—nominations must include a photo.
🚧 Accidents
Fire Rescue responded swiftly to a golf cart garage fire on Lombard Way in Shearwater after a battery malfunction sparked flames in a garage where a smoke alarm led residents to evacuate—firefighters used special saws to cut through the door and no one was injured.
🏛️ Government
St. Johns County Sheriff Robert Hardwick donated his badge to the Old Jail Museum for a new exhibit that honors sheriffs' legacies.
🏥 Health
Flu season is underway as CDC data shows low but rising activity—especially among children—and experts recommend everyone aged 6 months and older get a flu shot as soon as possible, even if the ideal window in September or October has passed.
Local pharmacies and clinics are providing the vaccines to help protect residents during the early cold weather.
