🚨⚓ HOT MESS ALERT: WE NEED THE ARMY ⚓🚨

Remember all those projects we said we'd get done "next week"?

Yeah... it's next week. 😅

This Saturday, we're calling in the Hot Mess Harbor Army to help us tackle the never-ending list of projects around the harbor. We've got boats that need cleaning, things that need painting, weeds that have chosen violence, and approximately 47 random projects that somehow appeared overnight.

The mission is simple:
👉 Show up.
👉 Work hard.
👉 Laugh at our chaos.
👉 Help us create an incredible place for the young men we serve.

No special skills required. If you can hold a paintbrush, pick up a stick, operate a pressure washer, or point at something and say, "Yep, that's definitely broken," you're qualified.

🛠 Boat Maintenance
🎨 Painting
🌿 Landscaping
💦 Pressure Washing
⚓ Harbor Cleanup
🤷‍♀️ Whatever Matt and Alex discover is on fire that morning

📅 Saturday, June 13
🍔 We feed you.
☀️ Half day or full day.
❤️ Every hour makes a difference.

One mission. One chaotic army.

🧪⚓️ **WANTED: Someone Smarter Than Us** ⚓️🧪

Do you speak fluent Chemistry? Because around here we're running low on people who know the difference between an ion and an isotope. 😂

We're looking for a volunteer Chemistry tutor to spend a couple hours a week investing in one of our young men at Safe Harbor. Perfect for teachers on summer break, college students, retired educators, or anyone whose idea of fun includes periodic tables and balancing equations.

💡 A few hours a couple times a week
🧪 Chemistry tutoring
⚓️ Huge impact on a young man's future
❤️ No cape required (but we'll assume you're a superhero)

If you've got the knowledge and a heart to serve, we'd love to connect. Come put that giant brain to good use! 🔬⚓️💙

**Interested? Message us ASAP!**

⚓️ ONE MISSION. ONE CHAOTIC ARMY. ⚓️

Can we just take a second and appreciate this crew? ❤️

Over the last few months, we’ve watched complete strangers become family. People have shown up with chainsaws, paint brushes, pressure washers, drills, trucks, trailers, prayers, encouragement, and a whole lot of sweat.

Together we’ve painted buildings, cleaned boats, cleared brush, hauled trash, fixed things we didn’t know how to fix, and somehow laughed through all of it.

But we’re not done yet.

📅 SAFE HARBOR SERVE DAY🗓 Saturday, June 13⏰ 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM🍔 Lunch Provided🙌 Half-Day or Full-Day Options Available

The truth is, Safe Harbor isn’t being built by a few people. It’s being built by an army of people who believe these young men deserve a chance at a different future.

Well… we came to volunteer and somehow ended up having an absolute blast. 😂🎣☀️

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, volunteered, shared a laugh, or supported the Redfish Roundup. We met so many awesome people and left with full hearts.

Big shoutout to the Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament, Jacksonville Marine Charities, and all the sponsors for making this incredible event possible—and for choosing Safe Harbor Boys’ Home as this year’s beneficiary.

We’re tired, a little sunburned, and incredibly grateful. ❤️⚓️

🎣⚓ IF IT INVOLVES FISHING, BOATS, AND A LITTLE CHAOS… YOU ALREADY KNOW WE’LL BE THERE. ⚓🎣

This Saturday, the Hot Mess Harbor crew is heading out to volunteer at the Redfish Roundup and we are WAY too excited about it. We NEED your help! 🌊☀️🐟

We are also incredibly honored and grateful that Safe Harbor Boys’ Home & Maritime Academy is once again being supported as a beneficiary of this amazing event. The fishing community has shown us so much love, encouragement, and belief in what we’re doing here, and we truly do not take that lightly. ❤️

There’s just something special about saltwater, good people, early mornings at the boat ramp, and watching our young men light up around the fishing community and life on the water.

We’ll be helping serve throughout the event, cheering people on, probably sweating through our shirts, definitely making memories, and doing what we love most — building community while helping raise up incredible young men.

Okay friends… it’s time. 😂🙏⚓️

Somehow, through the chaos, busted projects, random emergencies, power outages, coffee-fueled meetings, boats doing boat things, and Alex & Matt trying to hold life together with zip ties and prayer… God keeps showing up at Safe Harbor.

And honestly? We know we can’t do this without prayer.

So on Friday, May 29th at 6:30 PM, we’re inviting everybody out to campus for a Night of Prayer at Safe Harbor Boys’ Home.

We’re talking:
🙏 Praying over the campus
🙏 Praying over the boys in and coming into the program
🙏 Praying over the mission and future of Safe Harbor
🙏 Praying over the staff (because… whew 😂)
🙏 Walking around the property covering this whole place in prayer and encouragement

This community has already blown us away. Churches, small groups, volunteers, friends, supporters, and complete strangers have continued showing up to help push this mission forward, and we want this night to be about bringing everybody together under one purpose.

Also… 📖 BIBLE DRIVE TIME.

Our campus Bible collection has officially entered the “well-loved and held together by faith” stage. 😂 So if you have any new or gently used Bibles sitting on a shelf collecting dust, bring them with you! We would LOVE to put them into the hands of boys, mentors, and staff here on campus.

📍 Safe Harbor Boys’ Home
📞 904-435-4345
🌐 Safe Harbor Boys’ Home

Come pray with us.
Come walk the property with us.
Come believe with us for what God is building here.

And if nothing else… come see how we’ve somehow managed to keep this floating so far. ⚓️😂

WE ARE OFFICIALLY ASKING FOR NERDS. 🚨📚

Like… cool nerds. Mission-minded nerds. Slightly chaotic but dependable nerds. 😂

We desperately need volunteer tutors at Safe Harbor Boys' Home — especially for HIGH SCHOOL MATH and CHEMISTRY before Alex starts crying into a calculator and Matt teaches chemistry using diesel fuel and WD-40. 🫠

A lot of our boys are rebuilding their education from the ground up, and having people willing to sit down, encourage them, explain things differently, and simply SHOW UP can genuinely change the trajectory of a young man’s life.

You do NOT have to be a full-time teacher.
You just have to care.

✔️ Retired teachers
✔️ College students
✔️ Engineers
✔️ Science/math people
✔️ Homeschool parents
✔️ Anybody who survived chemistry and remembers literally anything

Come help us build confidence, momentum, and futures one equation at a time. ❤️

🚨 Hot Mess Harbor help request because apparently the to-do list keeps growing 😅⚓

We are desperately looking for a CPR / First Aid instructor who would be willing to donate their time and help us out at by coming in and running some classes for our team.

If you are qualified, know someone qualified, used to teach, currently teach, retired from teaching, or know that one person who somehow always knows everybody… please send them our way.

This would help us in a huge way right now and fill a very real need for us.

We are absolutely accepting prayers, connections, miracle introductions, and kind humans willing to step in and serve 🙏🤍

If this sounds like you or someone you know, please reach out.
