Description
Community Hope Center :
Emergency Food Assistance
Families in need receive free vouchers for food and basic household items. Those vouchers can only be used in our Community Hope Center. Churches in Central Florida also give out our vouchers to families coming for assistance to them, instead of having to run their own food pantry, give out certificates for local grocery stores or even give money to the people in need.
Provides immediate assistance upon qualification
Families in need are able to receive same day assistance after qualifying through our client services caseworker.
"Basic need" Self sufficiency program, long term assistance program, covers beyond emergency situation
Our Community Hope Center also offers a long-term self-sufficiency program which families can qualify for. Those families have income, but not enough to fulfill the basic needs. Our program helps those families to be able to take care of their needs by giving small contributions towards the program for the product they receive.
Many churches, nonprofit organizations and government agencies are sending their clients to participate in this program, since it provides a long-term solution for those families.
