The mission of House of Hope is to empower Martin county residents to overcome hunger and hardship. The vision of the organization is to become the leader in transforming lives by providing basic needs and life skills to those in need. charity Navigator has bestowed its highest ranking on House of Hope, with four stars. Close to 6,000 people benefit from House of Hope services each month. Last year, House of Hope distributed 647,308 pounds of food (the equivalent of 539,423 nutritious meals), and provided 112,570 items of clothing, furniture, appliances and housewares at no cost to qualified residents. House of Hope’s main pantry, warehouse, Project HOPE and administrative offices are located in Stuart. Additionally, House of Hope operates three full service centers (Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Indiantown) and four thrift stores. House of Hope is also the lead agency for the transformation of the historic Golden Gate building which will soon become The Golden Gate Center for Enrichment. The center will offer programs, classes and informational sessions in the areas of education, vocational training, life skills, health and nutrition, arts and culture, and library services. All programs and services will be provided at no cost to the participants. Also coming this fall is the creation of three Nutrition Gardens in the Golden Gate, Banner Lake and Port Salerno communities. The gardens will provide fresh produce to residents; teach gardening basics; and aid in health and nutrition training. There are great volunteer opportunities for individuals or groups. To learn more or to arrange for a tour, visit their website at www.hohmartin.org, email [email protected] or call (772) 286-4673.
Treasure coast Food Bank, incorporated in 1989, is the largest hunger relief-agency and only Food Bank in our region. Its mission is to alleviate hunger by obtaining and distributing food and other essentials in Martin, Indian River, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties. To assist more than 100,000, food-insecure people along the Treasure coast (including nearly 20,000 in Martin county), it
collaborates with 400 charitable organizations and the faith-based community to share emergency food with the community’s most vulnerable populations which can include low-income children, families, seniors, veterans, military families, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Over the last several years, Treasure Coast Food Bank has significantly strengthened its capacity to recover and distribute foods that are typically inaccessible for those struggling with hunger: fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, and lean proteins. In addition to food distribution, Treasure coast Food Bank operates a full roster of direct-service programs that help individuals and families gain long-term food security, better health outcomes, and ultimately, self-sufficiency, most notably Whole Child Connection, Mobile Pantry, Backpack Program, Healthy Options Program for the Elderly (H.O.P.E.), School Pantry Program, Diaper Pantry, Pet Pantry, Teen Pantry, and the Summer Feeding Program. In early 2017, Treasure coast Food Bank will launch its newest programmatic initiative, the Florida Agriculture & Nourishment Collaborative, designed specifically to boost local farms, feed children and their families, and generate jobs and training opportunities. This September is Hunger Action Month, and you can make a direct contribution to the local fight to end hunger by getting involved at www.stophunger.org or by calling (772) 489-3034.

I am committed to providing clients with peace of mind in managing and administering their estates during life and upon their passing. My husband and children mean the world to me. I am blessed to have them. I am passionate about protecting them and preserving the values we share. I believe most people are protective of those they love. However, it is easy to be distracted by life’s many r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s . T h e s e responsibilities often hinder an individual from completing an estate plan which provides for the person and their loved ones in the event of incapacity and death. I help clients accomplish this important financial goal for their families. When a person’s loved one passes away, I gently assist the person in charge of the administrative affairs through the legal process of the estate administration. Whether the administration is a probate and/or a trust administration, my objective is to timely assist clients in a kind and competent manner. In short, I am committed to providing clients with peace of mind.
Committed to Kind and Competent Representation
