The new year brings fresh opportunities to learn new skills, build confidence, and move toward meaningful employment. We are proud to walk alongside every individual we serve on their journey to success.

In 2025, Hope Services proudly served more than 689 individuals. We remain deeply committed to empowering people living with disabilities while continuing to expand programs for second-chance individuals, survivors of trafficking, and others in our community who need additional training and employment support. Through our Retail, Hospitality, Construction, and Culinary Arts programs, lives are being changed and doors are opening every day.

As we continue to grow, we are exploring opportunities for a second training location, possibly in the Hudson or Hernando County area, to better serve individuals closer to home. None of this would be possible without the continued support of our donors, partners, volunteers, and families. We invite you to visit our center and see firsthand the impact of your generosity.

“Thank you for believing in our vision: a world where every person enjoys a meaningful and fulfilling career.”

We look forward to a bright and impactful 2026 together!

Additionally, we welcomed adult learners into our Culinary ServSafe Certification program, and we are proud to share that every participant earned their certification, opening new doors to meaningful employment opportunities.
