District Board of Trustees of Tallahassee Community College

Take Stock in Children was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization in Florida that provides a unique opportunity for deserving low-income youth, many from minority families, to escape the cycle of poverty through education. We provide our students with a pathway to post-secondary education through mentoring, academic advocacy, college and career-readiness workshops, along with a 2-year full tuition college scholarship.

Emergency Care Help Organization, Inc.

ECHO delivers emergency relief and empowerment resources for our most vulnerable neighbors in the Big Bend area. We supply food, household goods, furniture, and housing alongside intensive case management and counseling to those experiencing homelessness, poverty, and crisis.

Legal Services of North Florida

LSNF primarily provides civil legal services without fee to persons whose income falls below 125% of federal poverty guidelines. Provision of civil legal representation by attorneys that are expert in public interest law often prevents disputes from escalating into criminal matters, thereby saving the community in terms of law enforcement, judicial resources and possible medical expenses. The safer, more productive its citizens are, the better a community thrives.
