Easter week in Milton will be full of community outreach from One Love. One Love is a program that has been doing outreach for about 10 years. This year, 16 churches are partnering together to offer hope to Santa Rosa County.

Santa Rosa and Escambia County churches are partnering together to help families in need. Care Portal is a nationwide program that seeks to help children and families through meeting their needs.
