Learn to Read of St. Lucie County is a non-profit corporation established in 1981 when our founder, Dorothy Brennan, read in the newspaper that a woman had given an overdose of medication to her child because she could not read the perscription bottle instructions. Her goal was to improve literacy skills of the residents of our community and that is our goal today.

Kate's Hope Foundation: Helping Other People in Emergencies

Kate's HOPE was founded in 2008 to help people facing life threatening illnesses get the financial help they need to continue treatment. The organization was named for and founded to help Kate O'Connor, a 37-year old single mom that was battling Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.  Today, Kate is cancer free, and her organization now is set up to help others in similar circumstances. In fact, HOPE stands for Helping Other People in Emergencies.

 Harvest Food & Outreach Center Providing Food & Hope on the Treasure Coast

Harvest Food & Outreach Center was founded in 2003 by Austin and Ginny Hunt. Ginny and Austin grew up on the Treasure Coast and both experienced the realities of growing up in homes that struggled financially. It was this journey of faith through life's challenges that gave them the passion to help those in need with basic necessities by lending an outstretched hand during times of crisis, as well as compassionate navigation towards a bright future of hope and stability. Austin, Ginny and the Harvest Food & Outreach team implemented an innovative food assistance program to financially assist the working poor on the Treasure Coast.

Michael's Message, Inc.,

Our Mission: A 501 (c)3 non-profit organization was founded with the intent to educate the public and our youth about the dangers of the illicit Schedule 1 drug GHB (Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate) and other Designer/Club drugs as well as Prescription and other illicit drugs. Its founding was inspired by the swift, tragic and uncharacteristic death of our son Michael.  Education is the key to prevention.

Our Goal: To present this Drug Awareness Program to as many of our youth as possible. Our youth must be made aware of the harmful effects and consequences associated with the choices they make. Drugs touch most of our lives in one way or another.
