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!

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.

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 Superheroes“
The JCC Mentors
The JCC Mentors is an all-male group of retirees mentoring 7th-grade boys at Ben Hill Middle School in Tampa twice a month for an hour. Each time they meet with the same group of boys as they eat pizza, talk about life, and share insightful advice about the future. The mentees enjoy spreading their wise knowledge to eager students who appreciate learning how to be a good and kind person and live life to the fullest. The students now have aspirations of college or a career after high school and have improved their test scores!
“The Role Model“
Doris
Doris volunteers her time to make independence a reality for Angela. They love spending time together, catching up over the phone, attending exercise classes together, going out to lunch, and celebrating special events like birthdays with one another. Because of Doris, Angela has blossomed out of her shell and enjoys venturing out more. Doris is an inspiration, proving that every stage of life holds opportunities for growth and joy.
“The Lifesaver”
Keith
Keith is a Vietnam veteran whose service to his fellow veterans is extraordinary. He drives through Tampa in his pickup truck and trailer to deliver donated furniture and living essentials to veterans leaving temporary housing and moving into their own apartments. Keith helps veterans to create a home and give them hope that living independently again is possible. His dedication and commitment to his fellow veteran brothers and sisters is nothing short of glorious.
