Cindy Murphy, right, presents a check for $10,000 from the Murphy Family Foundation to Diana Burkett, director of the Christian Community Development Fund. Donations to the CCDF are used to buy supplies to fix and help older, poor and disabled people in their homes, services provided by tradespeople who donate their labor.

The check wrapped up the Murphy Family Foundation’s gifts for Gulf County in 2020, which totaled more than $40,000 to various local causes.
