“We have been so inspired by how the more than 2,800 members of Safety Harbor Strong have helped each other through this unprecedented time in our lives,” said Scott Long, who created the Facebook group with Megan Willoughby. “Our non-profit organizations are hurting, too, and while we know many people may not be in a position to help them financially right now, we hope those who are will find something interesting in this auction, knowing that their winning bids will do tremendous good in our community.”
