Fbh Community Inc

FBH COMMUNITY'S MISSION IS TO "FOSTER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROACTIVELY WORK TO ERADICATE THE CAUSES OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY." FBH COMMUNITY HAS LAUNCHED VARIOUS INITIATIVES THAT WORK TOWARD ACCOMPLISHING FBH'S MISSION. THOSE ARE FOOD BRINGS HOPE, VCAN, AND HOMES BRING HOPE. WE ARE PROUD THAT 100% OF ALL CONTRIBUTIONS GO DIRECTLY TO PROGRAM FUNDING, WITH ALL OVERHEAD EXPENSES PAID FOR BY THE HOSSEINI FAMILY FOUNDATION.

FOOD BRINGS HOPE, IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR FAMILIES WITH MINOR CHILDREN WHO EXPERIENCE HARDSHIPS DUE TO HUNGER, HOMELESSNESS, AND POVERTY. FOOD BRINGS HOPE PROVIDES HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS FOOD AS A CORNERSTONE OF ALL OF ITS PROGRAMS. OVER 40 AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED IN SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE TWO COUNTIES WITH CLOSE TO TWO-THOUSAND STUDENTS ENROLLED. ONE OF FOOD BRINGS HOPE'S ULTIMATE AND CONTINUAL GOALS IS TO ERADICATE HUNGER AMONG SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH OUR MULTIFACETED FOOD SECURITY INITIATIVES AND WITH THE INTEGRATION OF EDUCATION, FOOD BRINGS HOPE SEEKS TO PROVIDE LAYERS OF SUPPORT THAT ATTACK NOT ONLY THE SYMPTOMS, BUT ALSO THE CAUSES OF FOOD INSECURITY IN VOLUSIA AND FLAGLER COUNTIES. KIDSZONE AND TEENZONE PROGRAMS STARTED IN 2007 WITH A VISION OF FEEDING AND EDUCATING HOMELESS AND HUNGRY CHILDREN AT JUST ONE SCHOOL, FOOD BRINGS HOPE'S KIDSZONE AND TEENZONE PROGRAMS ARE NOW ACTIVE IN 30 SCHOOLS IN VOLUSIA COUNTY AND 2 IN FLAGLER COUNTY. OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAMS ARE A CORNERSTONE IN ACCOMPLISHING OUR MISSION AND PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR AT-RISK STUDENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND LEARN OTHER CRITICAL LIFE SKILLS. FBH'S PROGRAMS HAVE CONTINUED TO EVOLVE DYNAMICALLY, ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING EACH SCHOOL PROGRAM IN BUILDING UNIQUE AND CREATIVE LEARNING SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO THEIR TARGETED STUDENTS. SPONSORING READING INITIATIVES FOR STRUGGLING THIRD GRADERS, INTRODUCING EXCITING ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE SCIENCES, OR EVEN SCHEDULING SAFE TRANSPORTATION HOME FOR STUDENTS IN OUR PROGRAMS ARE JUST SOME OF THE WAYS FBH OFFERS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE LEARNING. THE FBHONORS INITIATIVE WAS STARTED IN 2012 TO HELP THE HIGHEST ACHIEVING STUDENTS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. THE GOAL OF THE FBHONORS INITIATIVE IS TO CULTIVATE THE TALENT OF HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS, IN SMALL CLASS SETTINGS, THROUGH RIGOROUS, VARIED ENHANCED OPPORTUNITIES DESIGNED TO NAVIGATE THEM THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, HELP THEM ENROLL IN COLLEGE, AND, IN DOING SO, LEAD THEM ON A PATH TO SUCCESS. DURING THE PANDEMIC, FOOD BRINGS HOPE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO MANY NEEDY FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS NO MATTER THEIR AGE. ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED THROUGH FOOD BAGS DELIVERED TO SCHOOLS, HOME DELIVERIES, AND DRIVE THROUGH FOOD PANTRIES. OVER 13,000 FOOD BAGS WERE DISTRIBUTED SERVING 8,500 FAMILIES REPRESENTING OVER 36,000 INDIVIDUALS. APPROXIMATELY 23,640 POUNDS OF FOOD WERE DISTRIBUTED AT THE DRIVE THROUGH FOOD DISTRIBUTION AT MAINLAND HIGH SCHOOL OVER A 6-WEEK PERIOD. VOLUNTEERS DONATED 2,500 HOURS TO THE EFFORT.

VCAN - WAS LAUNCHED IN 2018 WITH THE MISSION TO HELP END HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF 25 YEARS OLD IN VOLUSIA COUNTY. IT WAS LAUNCHED TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE, TEMPORARY FOOD AND SHELTER FOR YOUTH OR FAMILIES WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN A DIFFICULT, UNEXPECTED, POSITION OF BEING HOMELESS OR WITHOUT FOOD. ONCE THEY ARE PLACED IN A HOTEL AND HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOOD, THEY ARE AIDED TO FIND LONG TERM SOLUTIONS.

THE HOPE PROJECT - HOPE HOUSE WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE HOMELESS, UNACCOMPANIED YOUTH WITH A SAFE AND STABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT. THE HOPE HOUSE IS ESTABLISHED FOR HOMELESS GIRLS AND BOYS ATTENDING VOLUSIA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FOOD AND SHELTER, WE ALSO OFFER SERVICES INCLUDING MENTORING, TRANSPORTATION, HIGHER EDUCATION ADVISING, MEDICAL SERVICES, ETC.

HOMES BRING HOPE - IN 2021, FBH COMMUNITY LAUNCHED HOMES BRING HOPE (HBH) WITH THE MISSION TO "LEAD THE FACILITATION OF HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR HARD-WORKING FAMILIES." THROUGH HBH, WE HOPE TO EMPOWER MORE FAMILIES TO ESCAPE FROM GENERATIONAL POVERTY BY BUILDING EQUITY THROUGH HOMEOWNERSHIP.
