A big THANKS to our teammate, Marth Sholtz from HRC (Handy Women Repair with Care)!  She contacted Mike Renfro, owner of the CubeSmart Self Storage on Viera Blvd and explained Community of Hope’s need for additional space to store furnishing for our units.  Mike made a very generous ($5,580) in-kind donation to cover a 10’X15’X8’ climate-controlled unit for one year.  This will officially start Phase II of HRC.  Lisa, working with Stephanie, has begun looking for furniture donations, HRC (under Lisa’s guidance) will make minor repairs and we will store the items in CubeSmart until a new family arrives and needs the furniture to get started. Our current goal is to find donated slightly used furniture.  If you hear of someone who has items we may be able to use, please contact Lisa.   T will be seeking a grant in the near future to give us money to buy needed items when we find good bargains.

Thanks again to Mike Renfro and his team at CubeSmart for helping us, help those seeking a fresh start in  affordable housing.  Be sure to tell your friends to support this company!

New program to help our families

The Paulucci Family Foundation provided Community of Hope (COH) a very generous $15,000 grant.  With the funds, COH is starting two new programs to better serve our clients. and our nonprofit.

Commiunity of Hope is proud to team with the Paulucci Family Foundation.  These win-win programs are helping our families successfully navigate the path out of homelessness while providing COH with more personnel to meet ever-increasing program demands.

Community means we work together

Community of Hope believes that we can’t solve the problems in our community or home town alone.  On February 14th, we partnered with The Street Dog Coalition, Habitat for Humanity of Brevard, and Mosaic of Palm Bay to provide free vaccines, heart worm tests, heart worm medication, and flea preventatives for the pets of people experiencing or at risk ofexperiencing homelessness.

Community of Hope Christmas party

This year’s event was wonderful.  There were games for the kids. The Hulu hoop contest was fun to participate in and watch as the kids and parents joined in.
Kids made Christmas tree ornaments and hair decorations. Thanks to our volunteers, everyone had a good time. The kids were excited to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Thanks to the Seaside Stitchers and Faith in Action everyone got a stocking. The Community of Hope case manager, Nicole started handing out donated gifts to the children that were at the party.  She will be Santa’s helper and deliver the rest of the gifts before Christmas.

Without the support of the community and all our helpers our families would not have such a fun event.  It was a blessing
