At Live Oak Contracting, we believe in giving back to the community that has given us so much. Our team members express their passion for Jacksonville through our many volunteer events throughout the year. We are committed to making a significant difference through our holiday toy drives and impactful partnerships with the Jaguars Foundation, Greenscape of Jacksonville, K9s United, and many more. These partnerships have already made a positive impact, and we are excited about the future possibilities. We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to share our time and treasure with our neighborhood friends.
K9s United
K9s United is committed to supporting law enforcement by providing equipment, training, and advocacy for K9 units nationwide. They serve active and retired K9s, ensuring each has the resources, protection, and care it needs. After K9 Baron’s passing in 2014, Debbie Johnson, a Jacksonville local, was inspired to become an advocate for K9 officers. This organization has worked with teams across 44 states to keep our communities and K9s safe.
Club Blue
Club Blue is a division of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida that connects young professionals who desire to help shape the lives of kids who participate in local Boys & Girls Clubs through leadership, volunteerism, and advocacy. Established in 2011, the members of Club Blue work to support the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida by extending their time, talent, and resources to the organization.
Len Mattiace Foundation
The Len Mattiace Foundation works to provide well-being, growth, and safety to the kids in the Northeast Florida community.

Their programs support youth development by combining athletic instruction with life skills training. The foundation is committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who make positive contributions to their communities.
Jacksonville Children’s Chorus
Jacksonville Children’s Chorus was founded in 1995 at Jacksonville University to provide the area with a children’s music program. The chorus has grown from 16 members in its first year to more than 350 participants each year across five choirs. Through donation-based scholarships, the JCC works to ensure that every child who wishes to participate can do so regardless of their ability to afford tuition.
