FBH Community

1)food brings hope food brings hope is committed to providing collaborative solutions for families with minor children facing hunger, homelessness, and poverty. A central focus of our programs is providing healthy, nutritious food to those in need. We offer both before and after-school programs in schools throughout volusia and flagler counties. Our mission is to eradicate hunger among school-aged children and families in our Community. Through a variety of food security initiatives combined with educational support, we address not just the symptoms, but also the root causes of food insecurity. Our kidszone and teenzone programs, which began in 2007 at a single school with the vision of feeding and educating homeless and economically disadvantaged children, now operate in numerous schools across volusia and flagler counties. These programs are a cornerstone of our mission, providing at-risk students with opportunities to improve their academic performance and develop critical life skills. FBH continuously adapts its initiatives, supporting each school in creating unique, tailored learning solutions for their students. From sponsoring reading initiatives for struggling third graders to offering enrichment activities in the sciences, and even arranging safe transportation, FBH provides innovative opportunities that enhance learning. Launched in 2012, the fbhonors initiative focuses on helping high-achieving students reach their full potential. The program provides rigorous, diverse opportunities in small class settings, guiding students through high school and preparing them for college. With a strong emphasis on stem subjects, fbhonors nurtures talent and paves the way for future success. In response to learning gaps exacerbated by the pandemic, many students struggled with Florida's assessment tests. To address this, we introduced "change the code," a program supported by the Florida department of education. This initiative, which includes both before and after-school programs, focuses on english language arts (ela) and math, serving elementary and middle schools with alarmingly low passing rates to help students improve their performance. Launched in 2023, the lemerand center of excellence (lce) is a collaborative program between FBH Community, daytona state college and volusia county school district. Lce is dedicated to enhancing educational outcomes for underserved youth in volusia county. The program focuses on helping struggling students achieve standardized test results at or above grade level in mathematics and english language arts (ela) through targeted academic support and tutoring. Since its launch, the lce has significantly contributed to students' academic success and personal development, reflecting a strong commitment to empowering at-risk youth.

3.) Homes bring hope the vision of the FBH prosperity program is to equip every resident with the knowledge and skills necessary to overcome barriers and achieve homeownership. Fbhp's mission is to foster economic growth for families by enhancing education, workforce development, health, employment, and ultimately homeownership. Established in 2021, the program provides clients with support in credit restoration, financial education, and career progression. The primary goal of fbhp is to prepare our clients for the homebuying process. Once they have accomplished the requirements, the client is enrolled in the homes bring hope program. The mission of the homes bring hope program is to "facilitate the homeownership opportunities for hard-working families". Hbh aims to empower families to break the cycle of generational poverty by building equity through homeownership. To date, hbh has successfully placed tens of families into their own homes, with a vision to expand and create even more homeowners in the years to come. Homes brings hope's unique structure enables it to sell these homes at or below cost. Therefore, the homebuyer creates equity as soon as they close on their house.
