Golf.
Winn-Dixie.
What do these three things have in common?

The Buckner Division, located in Jacksonville, is proud to be the founding home of Children's Home Society of Florida. In 1902, Dr. D.W.Comstock came to Jacksonville as a representative of the National Children's Home Society, which was formed in Illinois in 1883. He, along with other Jacksonville religious and civic leaders, formed Children's Home Society of Florida on November 17, 1902.
