One of our work brethren is going through the loss of his mother. Michael has been a great leader, friend, and coworker to the Southeast Fisheries Observer Program. This page is for helping Michael through this difficult time. If you are local, and would like to sign up for food drop off and visits, please check out the calendar. If you’re a bit farther away but would like to help, I’ve created a wishlist of gift cards to send him.

Other ways you can help: ordering groceries through favor, Kroger, Walmart, checking in with him via text, or just simply stopping by

This is a difficult time and there’s no right way to navigate a massive loss, but being there, even if you think it’s not that big of a gesture has a massive impact on a griefing heart. 

Please feel free to text Meghan at 731-217-5246 if you have any questions.

Texas to the Bone&trade;! Saltgrass Stea House puts the sizzle in char-grilled steaks, serving the finest Certified Angus Beef&reg; with legendary Texas hospitality.
The menu recaptures the flavor of the open campfire, recalling the era when millions of longhorn cattle were driven south each winter to graze on the Texas Gulf Coast's salt grasses.
The trail was known for the best beef in Texas. Trail riders headed to the Houston Livestock Show, and Rodeo still bring their horses down it - and along the way, they still pass the original Saltgrass Steak House.
Why We Love This Gift: Taking just a simple opportunity to change up the scenery can be a gift that keeps giving. Saltgrass Steak house is an excellent option for a family in need of a night of togetherness. As a bonus, kids love steakhouses and find them uniquely exciting.
What To Express In Your Card: Thinking of you and your family. Please, enjoy a night out together.

Give the gift of entertainment. The ultimate go to for just about anyone.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it forces people off of their couches and out of their houses. This is a great date night for parents who never see anything but Pixar in a movie theater. Challenge them to see one Oscar-nominated movie so that they aren't totally out of it at the Oscar party. Or, recognize that escapism is an important element of grieving or care-taking. Have them take a break. They can escape into a movie of their choosing which can often help them to clear their heads.
What To Express In Your Card: I know you have a lot on your mind right now. I hoped that you would enjoy a movie. I wanted to provide what little escapism I am able - I'd love to join you if you'll have me. Sending you lots of love.
