Support Students
Donate today and help students like Keith fall in love with learning.
Keith and Mr. Jackson are the PERFECT example that tutors don’t just teach kids to read, they teach them to LOVE reading! Mr. Jackson created fun games from curriculum resources that kept Keith engaged. Keith made 9 months of progress after just four months of tutoring. Now he loves to read chapter books!
Support Veterans

Veteran Wendi Harris hadn’t slept in a bed in over a year. Because of her medical issues, she needed a hospital bed and wasn’t able to get one. Through our network of community support Operation: Veteran Connect located, delivered, and assembled a donated bed so Wendi could finally have a good night’s rest.
Support Seniors
Donate today to ensure isolated seniors always have someone who cares.
Health Buddy volunteer Melannie shared concern that her client had missed four doctor’s appointments due to a lack of reliable transportation. We immediately reached out to our community partner, The Resource Empowerment Centre. Now Melannie’s client has the transportation she needs to keep her healthy!

“The Legacy”
Rosemarie
Rosemarie MacLauchlan is 90 years young, exercises at the gym three days per week, and is passionate about nutrition. She loves being part of a team that is helping people facing food-insecurity get proper nutrition. She sorts and stocks donations and packs “Boxes of Hope” with essential meals to feed hungry families. Rosemarie enjoys staying active and purposeful – the key to her longevity!
“The Confidant”
Asleen
Asleen Griffin met Shirley at an in-service training. They quickly hit it off and started to carpool together. When Shirley was no longer able to volunteer because of health concerns, Asleen stepped in to serve as her companion. Asleen has other clients but makes sure to visit Shirley 3 to 4 times a week. They spend time playing BINGO, doing word searches, and talking about the good times. These two aren’t just companions, they aren’t just friends, they’re family.
“The Lifesaver”
Neonkita
Neonkita Frazier knows what it’s like to experience the frustration of trying to navigate the system of social services. She’s made it her mission to help homeless Veterans access the benefits they’ve earned so they can have a place to call home. She saved one Veteran’s life with her careful attention and quick response. Volunteer Florida honored her dedication with statewide recognition as Volunteer of the Year.
