With 101 people in attendance, First Step Florence hosted a successful GALA Fundraiser on Saturday evening - reaching their $100,000 goal to break ground in preparation for two duplexes on the First Step property north of town. FSF staff, board and participants are filled with gratitude for the individuals, groups, businesses and organizations support of their work and this year's GALA! More detail and appreciation to come.

First Step Florence provides much needed housing stability and life skills supports for families otherwise living in unhoused situations - such as their cars, or couch surfing, or in a tent. Children need secure housing and we're helping their family give that to them. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
