At the Hope Florida symposium in Orlando on Tuesday, Sept. 5, Family Renew Community was recognized by Florida's first lady, Casey DeSantis, as an outstanding Florida nonprofit. The $15,000 award will be matched, by the Walmart Foundation.
Hope Florida is an initiative spearheaded by Casey DeSantis that utilizes Hope Navigators to guide Floridians on an individual path to prosperity, economic self-sufficiency, and hope, by focusing on community collaboration between the private sector, faith-based community, non-profits, and government entities to break down traditional community silos, maximizing support and opportunities. The daylong event took place at the JW Marriott Grand Lakes.
Family Renew Community has been helping families with children lift themselves out of homelessness in Volusia County since 1989.
