Our Story Starts with WHO WE ARE!
The Resource Empowerment Centre (aka ALK of Florida, Inc.) is a not-for-profit organization committed to improving the overall Mental Well-Being of minority individuals within underserved communities through education and empowerment since 2016.
The REC was born out of Pearlena’s Adult Activity Center identifying participants’ visible needs for vital resources beyond adult activities, such as food, housing, health care, and financial stability.
The REC provides “resource navigation” and “resource advocacy” that focuses on the sustainability of self-sufficiency by facilitating the social, economic, and political reintegration of individuals with or at risk of criminal records, homeless, disabled, mature adults 55+, families with or without children, veterans, youth and those experiencing poverty.
Our focus is to empower the underserved population to apply for and receive benefits from community resources that promote public safety, economic opportunities, and overall quality of life. Since our inception, we have committed to improving the overall mental well-being of underserved individuals.
