HOW CAN YOU HELP SOMEONE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS?

Sarasota’s Homeless Outreach Team works to connect people with housing, mental health services and other resources.

The city says there’s a better way to help than simply giving money or food directly.

More on how the program works in the comments.

Project 180 gives men leaving prison a place to live, help finding work and a community designed to reduce recidivism. “Second sentence: Housing after prison” follows one resident as he works to stay sober and build a life beyond incarceration.

Thank you to everyone who supported FCCD Chapter 14’s Back-to-School Supply Drive! 💙📚✏️

Because of your incredible generosity, we collected an amazing assortment of backpacks, school supplies, notebooks, crayons, markers, folders, hygiene items, and classroom essentials that will help students start the school year prepared and confident.

Your kindness and commitment to giving back will make a real difference in the lives of local children. We are truly grateful to every individual, organization, and supporter who donated and helped make this drive such a tremendous success.

Together, we’re building a stronger community—one student at a time. Thank you for making a difference! ❤️

💙 Look at this Feel Good Friday moment! 💙

There’s nothing better than seeing your community come together to make a difference!

Project 180 Reentry has spent years helping people rebuild after incarceration.

This week our team helped furnish Project 180's first home for women with dressers, lamps, a kitchen table, dishes, small appliances and more. The ordinary things that turn an empty house into a place where someone can actually start over.

All of it came from donations. Someone in our communities set an item aside, and it became part of a woman's fresh start.

That is what your donations do. 💙

📢 ❗️ Important Double Fundraiser Update ❗️📢

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to briefly postpone our upcoming Spaghetti Lunch & Bake Sale Fundraiser.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support of FCCD Chapter 14.

The good news is we’ve already secured a new date!

🗓️ NEW DATE: Friday, August 21
🕚 Same Time: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Same Location: 1844 17th Street

We’ll still have delicious spaghetti, homemade baked goods (including our famous pound cake!), and all proceeds will continue to benefit the Florida Council on Crime and Delinquency Chapter 14.

Thank you for sticking with us—we look forward to seeing everyone on August 21! 💚🍝🧁
