The Leadership Pensacola "LeaP" Class is a year long program sponsored by the Pensacola Chamber to give area businesses and individuals the opportunity to hone their leadership and teambuilding skills via collaborative efforts and projects that benefit the Pensacola community. You can read all about LeaP here.
Normally 10-months in duration, The extended (Due to the Pandemic) COVID-19 Leadership Pensacola Class of 2020-2022 recently completed one of their two community service project(s) and opened it up for use yesterday.
This particular project was the design and building of an outdoor gazebo at Pensacola's only full-time, full-service, 100% free to the end user medical and dental clinic for working citizens that do not have medical or dental insurance--the Health & Hope Clinic of Pensacola.
Staffed by volunteer providers (dentists, doctors, nurses, counselors) the Health and Hope Clinic's mission inspired the LeaP class of 2022 to help in a meaningful way. You can read all about the Health and Hope Clinic and their mission Here

On days when it is hot or raining, the Gazebo that was constructed by LeaP-- along with the associated brick walkway--will give patients an additional space to wait for their appointements or a ride from their appointments out of the direct sunlight or rain.
It is strategically located between the Health & Hope Clinic and Ministry Village at Olive Church, another nonprofit entity that provides support services to citizens in need of items like food assistance and job training.
It was a great celebration yesterday of giving and helping the community.
Thanks to Leap22, the Pensacola Chamber, all the company sponsors, the individuals that did the work, and everyone else associated with making this project happen!
