On May 31st, 2024 the AYLUS Orlando branch assisted the HOPE Chest Thrift Store/Boutique located on 1802 W Broadway St, Oviedo, FL 32765 in accepting and sorting donations, along with performing store closing tasks for approximately 2.5 hours. HOPE Helps’ vision is as follows:
“HOPE addresses the issues facing individuals and families in crisis by networking with local agencies and organizations, partnering to become more effective, studying best and emerging practices, and developing innovative problem-solving ideas in a comprehensive, coordinated, and strategic fashion.
We effectively make use of services that exist and identify trends in what is needed to enable individuals and families to become self sufficient.
We educate and transform the way people view and treat those in need, by providing awareness, and the opportunity to create change. HOPE is engaging communities to develop and plan long term solutions that address the problems facing those in crisis. Together we will make a difference in the lives of those in our community.
We envision a world where people know that there is HOPE.”
AYLUS Orlando’s goal aligns with this, and we hope to be able to reduce homelessness in the Central Floridian area.
