Hope Florida organizes the generosity and goodness of the faith community to help those in need. Faith institutions are the heart of Florida’s communities and a force for service, especially in helping our most vulnerable. We know people of faith are on the front lines, and we want to come alongside them in their efforts to strengthen individuals and families as they overcome barriers to uncovering their God-given potential.

Hope Florida provides faith institutions with a revolutionary new angle for community outreach with their neighbors in need. We aim to break down silos, connect those looking for help with those who have a heart and call to serve, and then get out of the way.

The Florida Department of Corrections and the Florida Foundation for Correctional Excellence have partnered on an important initiative to provide reentry services in the Daytona Circuit, which includes Volusia, Flagler, St. Johns, and Putnam Counties.

Erik Dellenback attended the ceremony and spoke on the importance of the Mobile Reentry Unit, the results being seen, and how it could be game-changing for Florida. The unit is the first of its kind and will directly support individuals, helping them overcome barriers to successful reintegration. This is another initiative aimed at providing resources directly to those who need them the most.
