Our History
My first year anniversary with Barnabas brings with it cause for celebration for our many
accomplishments, as well as reflection of the past year and vision for the future. We remain
focused on the important work that we do of helping our neighbors who are struggling due to
job or income loss, health problems or other concerns. Thanks to the incredible support that we
have received from individuals, churches, businesses, foundations and local government over the
past 25 years, Barnabas has been and continues to be the major safety net provider for people
experiencing a crisis in Nassau County.
Our vision is to be the primary nonprofit resource in Nassau County providing assistance to
connect individuals and families to services that will help them overcome crisis and achieve
self-sufficiency. We are working to achieve this vision by providing case management services
so that the complex issues individuals and families in crisis often face can be addressed. We
are striving to expand our food supply to include more produce and fresh foods in order to
increase nutritional options for lower income families. Over the next year we will be exploring
the potential and feasibility of developing a community health center in Nassau County that will
provide comprehensive primary health, oral health and mental health care services for our lower income and uninsured citizens.
We are blessed to have received the valuable gifts of time, talents, money and donated items from the hundreds of people and
organizations that supported Barnabas this past year, and especially those that do so year after year. It is because of you that
thousands of people in our community were connected to help and hope. On their behalf, we thank you.
In late 1986, a group of parishioners from St.
Michael’s Catholic Church worked with their
priest, Father Edward Booth, in creating a
center to help people who were in crisis. The
center operated in a building adjacent to the
church on Calhoun Street that once served as
a convent, and was named Barnabas Center in
honor of the patron saint that means the son
of encouragement. Resources included a food
pantry, clothing and assistance with heat and
fuel. Their vision was that Barnabas Center
would serve as a one stop shop that could
help people get back on their feet and break
the cycle of crisis that they were experiencing.
Within a short period of time, the Fernandina
Beach Ministerial Alliance responded and other
churches offered support of the program.
throughout Nassau County. It has broad support
from churches, businesses, medical centers and
practices, individuals, foundations, United Way
and local government.
The agency quickly grew under the leadership
of its first executive director, Anne Franck. In
1991, Barnabas Center moved to its new home,
donated by Paul Burns, at 11 S. 11th Street
in Fernandina Beach. Over the past 25 years,
Barnabas Center has grown to become a multiservice health and social service agency that
annually serves approximately 5,000 people
The heartbeat of Barnabas Center has been and
continues to be the hundreds of volunteers who
help us fulfill our mission to assist individuals
and families in crisis throughout Nassau County.
They help make Barnabas the very special
organization that it is, which contributes to
making our community a healthy and wonderful
place to live.

Craig True, President, Board of Directors
Since 2009 I have been privileged to serve as the President and Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Barnabas Center. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank all of you that have
supported Barnabas in the past.
We have a diversified Board of Directors which takes very seriously its responsibility for
oversight of the resources that you donate to Barnabas. This past year the Board took
several significant steps to focus on policy, vision, and the long-term financial security of the
organization. These included updating and revising the organization’s bylaws, establishing a
development committee to oversee our long-term financial security, establishing expectations
for our board members and creating guidelines to identify and engage future Board members.
It is also noteworthy that each and every member of the Board supports Barnabas financially
through annual donations.
We are proud to have received a four-star rating (the highest available) from Charity Navigator
for sound fiscal management for the fifth consecutive year. Only six percent of charities
nationwide have received a four-star rating for five consecutive years. We are pleased to be in
that company.
This year marks an important milestone for Barnabas Center – our 25th anniversary. With your
help, we will continue to work to help those in crisis throughout Nassau County overcome their
adversity and achieve self-sufficiency.

Medical Program
Crisis Center
The Samaritan Medical Clinic is able
to provide free urgent health care to
lower income, uninsured adults through
donations and grants. This past year, a
patient presented at the clinic with lumps
along his neck that had been there for
several months. After an examination by
one of our volunteer physicians, blood tests
were performed by Baptist Medical Center.
The patient was diagnosed with chronic
lymphocytic leukemia and is currently
receiving lifesaving treatment from a
volunteer oncologist.
Donations and grants allow for this program
to provide food, assistance with rent,
mortgage and utility payments, and other
services for those experiencing a crisis. Mr. J,
a single father of three children, sought help
from Barnabas when his oldest son became
gravely ill with a serious heart condition that
required a lengthy hospital stay at Shands
Hospital in Gainesville. Mr. J. needed to stay
with his son, and as a result, he was unable
to work and earn an income. During this
critical time, Barnabas was able to pay the
family’s rent and enable them to remain
in their home. After his son’s condition
stabilized, Mr. J. was able to return to work.
Dental Program
Thanks to our dedicated dentist, staff and
volunteers, the Dental program provides
low-cost dental services to adults who are
lower income, uninsured and who cannot
afford to pay normal dental fees. Dental
services include exams, x-rays, extractions,
fillings, hygiene, and dentures. Donations
and grants enable the dental program
to remain affordable for individuals who
have no place else to turn for care. Linda
was one of the patients who commented
on the professionalism and compassion
demonstrated by Dr. Daniel Thomas.
“Dr. Thomas made me feel comfortable,
explained everything clearly, and when he
finished I felt like a million dollars.”

New To You
As Lucy Tobias recently wrote in an article on Fernandina Beach,
“I never miss a chance to visit Barnabas New to You at 930 S.
14th Street. It is a car trip from downtown, but not far. It should
be on everyone’s trip list. This amazing place is loaded with
great high end brands of everything from clothes to furniture to
household goods all at prices that will knock your socks off they
are so low. And you are helping to fund their charitable work. I
easily walk out with a bag full of great finds for under $20 and
had fun doing the deed.” The New To You resale store does
more than sell donated items to support Barnabas programs.
Many of the Crisis Assistance Center clients are provided
donated items such as clothing and furniture at no cost to them.
