🌱 Hope is growing at HFC!

Today we took the first step in creating our sustainable garden by preparing our seedlings! We are so grateful to Cleveland Clinic for the generous grant that is helping bring this garden to life on our campus.

We can’t wait to watch these seedlings—and this special project—grow! 💚🌿

This week, Executive Director Marty Mercado and members of our Case Management Team attended the Florida Coalition to End Homelessness Conference in Orlando—an opportunity to connect, learn, and gain valuable insight from others working to end homelessness across Florida.

Marty also shared her experience and expertise through a powerful presentation highlighting the strength of connection and collaboration—and what’s possible when we work together. 🪢

We’re grateful for opportunities to learn from one another, strengthen partnerships, and bring fresh ideas back to the work we do every day at Hope for Families Center.

Together, the strands become the safety net. ❤️

Who knew spaghetti and marshmallows could turn into a STEAM challenge? 🍝🤍

Today in Children’s Enrichment, the kids put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work building structures with spaghetti and marshmallows. There was plenty of imagination, a little trial and error, and some friendly competition as they worked to see what they could create! 🏗️

A fun, hands-on learning experience with a little sweet treat along the way! 😋
