Free Food, Free Haircuts, and Dozens of Service Agencies: Flagler County Opens Its Doors on May 15

Flagler County’s Health and Human Services Department is hosting a free community outreach event on May 15, 2026, bringing more than 30 social service agencies together in one location. The event, called Flagler Spring Outreach, will run from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at Cattleman’s Hall at the Flagler County Fairgrounds, located at 150 Sawgrass Road in Bunnell. Attendance is free and open to the public.

What the event offers

The goal of the event is to remove the barriers that keep people from getting help — including not knowing what services exist or where to find them. Residents can walk in and speak directly with representatives from dozens of agencies covering health, housing, food, education, legal aid, mental health, substance use support, emergency services, and more. Two organizations will also provide immediate, hands-on assistance on the day of the event: Grace Food Pantry will distribute free food, and Flagler Technical College will offer free haircuts.

“Sometimes the only reason people don’t get help is that they aren’t exactly sure what they need or where to find assistance. We’re here so no one slips through the cracks.”

— Joseph Hegedus, Director, Flagler County Health and Human Services

Who will be there

The event brings together a wide range of organizations. Among those participating are Easter Seals Early Steps, the Flagler County Free Clinic, Family Life Center, the Early Learning Coalition, Flagler OARS, Flagler Cares, EPIC Behavioral Health, Oxford House, Flagler County Community Paramedicine, SMA Healthcare, the SMA Access Center, the City of Palm Coast Community Development office, the Flagler Family Assistance Center, Disability Solutions, Alpha Women’s Center, Seniors vs. Crime, Flagler County Senior Services, the Palm Coast Lions Club, the Flagler County Schools FIT Program, the Florida Department of Health-Flagler WIC Program, the Volusia/Flagler Homeless Coalition, Florida Legal Services, the Flagler County Drug Court Foundation, Foundation to Freedom, Loads of Smiles, the Daytona State TRiO Program, and Flagler County Emergency Management.

— Joseph Hegedus, Director, Flagler County Health and Human Services
