There is a population around us that is dealing with harsh circumstances all around us without the support that many of us take for granted.
These people are often without homes or jobs, but still deserve dignified, humane treatment. At First Coast Community Development, we are making a difference in the lives of our less fortunate neighbors by providing everything from medical services, to hot meals, to a place to stay when times are tough.
Within these communities, First Coast provides ways to help those who really won't find the tools to help them on a path to wellness anywhere else.
We are setting up communities to foster dignified help for those in need all over the south-east though supportive partnerships.
Redeveloping properties like these to become homes and supportive communities for veterans struggling to find their way back into civilian life is the primary calling of First Coast Community Development.
