Heart For Winter Haven

We believe poverty has been misdiagnosed; it's rooted in broken relationships. We bring people together through collaborations that restore relationships, build resources, and grow community.

Since 2014, Heart for Winter Haven has worked to strengthen relationships and encourage collaboration among the various sectors of our city. Some of the initiatives used in this effort include: 

• ELEVATE: a hub for community collaboration, where individuals and families find support, hope, and resources to rebuild and thrive.
• Jobs for Life: Equipping men and women to find purposeful work and financial stability
• The Housing Partnership of Winter Haven: Strengthening families and providing help with eviction prevention and housing stability
• The Center for Well-Being: Making free and low-cost mental health counseling available to our community
• Scholarship House: A housing program for homeless college students
• Faith & Finances: Faith-centered financial education and training for people in low-income situations
