United Way of Northeast Florida and the Jacksonville Jaguars partnered Oct. 18 for their annual “Hometown Huddle” community service event to promote youth health. Jaguars players and executives, ROAR cheerleaders, Jaxson de Ville and nearly 100 volunteers spent an afternoon with the New Town Success Zone in Northwest Jacksonville. Four service projects were completed. Projects included beautification efforts and fitness fun with students at a local elementary school; revitalizing garden beds and creating an outdoor classroom at a community garden; food organization and distribution to more than 300 residents; and a neighborhood cleanup.
