Every contribution, whether large or small, directly supports our efforts to serve the underserved populations in Clay County. Unrestricted funds allow us to purchase emergency supplies, provide shelter, and support employment initiatives. Your generosity ensures we can adapt to changing needs and continue providing compassionate assistance to our neighbors in need.
For many of our clients, reliable transportation is the missing link to securing employment, attending doctor appointments, and accessing essential community services. When public transit lines aren't enough or emergencies arise, Uber gift cards provide a vital, direct lifeline. You can also help keep our clients moving forward by donating physical bus passes, which are available for $20 at many local Walgreens and Winn-Dixie locations.
We are experiencing an urgent shortage of safe, accessible shelter for local families in crisis. We need landlords with affordable rental houses, as well as hotel managers and Airbnb hosts willing to partner with us for short-term emergency stays. Your available space can be the exact lifeline that keeps a vulnerable family off the streets tonight.
A criminal record shouldn't be a lifetime barrier to self-sufficiency, but we are facing a critical shortage of local businesses willing to offer a second chance. We need compassionate employment partners ready to hire motivated, formerly incarcerated clients who are eager to work and rebuild their lives. Your business can provide the essential stepping stone that changes someone's trajectory completely.

Nearly 1 in 3 Clay County residents are considered "working poor" (above the federal poverty line but below the cost of living), with 83% of these families single women with children.

With the cost of living ever increasing, we need the generosity of our community to ensure we can keep assisting those in crisis.
Any one of us could be one job-loss away from hopelessness.
