GHA Programs and Initiatives
Giving Hope Again offers a variety of community initiatives that address specific challenges in our communities. Please read more about the programs offered below.
Let’s Talk About Us—Seeing a need to have open and honest dialogue in the various communities of Orlando, Lakeland, Quincy, and Tallahassee Fl. “Let’s Talk About Us” was developed. This initiative provides discussion panels where citizens can freely discuss the pressing issues of our community. Past forums have included discussions on politics, physical health, mental health, and economic development.
Let’s Eat— Giving Hope Again has assisted in providing either lunch, breakfast or dinner to the homeless populations of our communities. Over the past three years in addition to the meals provided when available, GHA has an annual Father’s Day lunch, Christmas and Thanksgiving Day breakfast for the people of the Parramore Community in Orlando FL. This initiative was recently expanded in 2020 to provide a New Year’s Day Dinner as well.
Like A Rock—This initiative focuses on improving the lifestyle of those living with cardiopulmonary disorders. According to the CDC, Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The Like A Rock program aids in providing cardiopulmonary health awareness and education pertaining to fitness and heart-healthy diet guidelines.
My child Your child OUR future– This Initiative is to educate youth from third to 12th grade on topics on social skills, mental Health , financial Literacy and self-confidence.
Resource Center – The resource center provides citizens with free computer access, internet access, printing services and classes for resume writing, economic development, self-empowerment etc. The center also focuses on linking citizens with resources for mental, social and economic assistance services.
Home is Where the Heart Is — In addition to providing food for the homeless population, Giving Hope Again launched an initiative aimed at assisting veterans and homeless individuals with finding stable shelter and permanent affordable housing. This initiative includes helping to rehabilitate homes for elderly citizens whose homes need repairing and remodeling.
Giving Hope Again is always looking for a way to help those who have fallen on hard times, due to whatever reason. We look forward to continuing as well as expanding upon the initiatives of Giving Hope Again. Thank you to all of our supporters who have helped to make these initiatives a success.
