Family Renew Community provides safe and stable transitional housing for area families with children in need and equips them with the tools they need to be self-sufficient going forward. The organization has 32 apartments at three different campuses in Holly Hill, Daytona Beach and DeLand. These housing units are available for six months or more with no rent or utility payments due. Family Renew Community offers about 60 families a year safe haven from desperate situations and offers more than just temporary shelter. We are proud to have had the Family Renew team at our event as ambassadors of the program to speak with the 144 golfers and nearly 50 event sponsors.

“I want to take this opportunity to further convey the impact of your gift on Family Renew Community as an organization and the families we serve. Your gift is the largest gift Family Renew has received so far this calendar year, with the exception of a bequest. Your gift covers more than 3 percent of our budgeted annual operating expenses for 2020. So you can see that your donation will do much to keep Family Renew Community strong through this challenging time. It will allow us to continue to help families change the direction of their lives despite the pandemic. Your gift exceeds the average amount Family Renew Community invests to lift THREE families out of homelessness, with a 95 percent chance of maintaining stable housing in the months and years to come. Research shows experiencing homelessness as a child is the leading indicator of whether a person will be homeless as an adult. By making that childhood experience of homelessness brief and nonrecurring for the boys and girls in these families, you are interrupting that cycle for generations to come. Thanks again,” expressed Denise O’Toole Kelly, Development Director for Family Renew Community.
