Hi,

We are Ben and Megan Kodatt, owners of Willie’s in Jacksonville, FL and also a 3rd generation fire department family. We have friends that work for many different local fire departments, including the US Navy Fire Department that serves both NAS Jax and Mayport. Due to the government shutdown, these men and women have been working for an extended period of time without pay. We have recently been made aware (by family members of those serving) of just how harshly this reality is being felt at home. We are asking you to help us help them! Please consider donating funds to help spouses and children of these invaluable federal fire fighters. Funds will go directly to family members to help cover bills, groceries, and to help prepare for the holidays. Please consider helping today.
