Check out Shopping for Charity: Jacksonville. Volunteers shop for deals, including maximizing savings with coupons, to help those less fortunate by donating products that many nonprofits could not otherwise afford.
Go “Around Town” with Kerry “Specktator” Speckman on First Coast Connect on 89.9 FM every Thursday around 9:45 AM. And if you really want a laugh, tune into the show via USTREAM. Her dancing skills are really quite impeccable, an indisputable fact now that she has been crowned “Jacksonville’s Favorite Dancer.”
And sometimes she forgets she’s on camera and picks her nose.
