Meals amidst devastation

A trio of dedicated Franklin County restaurant people – Danny Itzkovitz, Patrick Kelly and Zack Craig – returned Monday to the devastation, wrought by Hurricane Helene in Horseshoe Beach, shown above. The three left Monday evening with a food truck and a camper as they set about serving first responders, work crews and the general public three complete meals a day, to about 200 people per meal, for three days. Itzkovitz said that nearly every house he saw had been leveled. The group has received financial help from the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office and the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Charity Fund, which continues to accept monetary donations. A trailer has also been set up at the Point South Marina in Port St. Joe for donations of needed supplies and it will be leaving Friday, Oct. 11 to Sea Hag Marina in Steinhatchee.
