Treasure Coast Food Bank
To actualize its mission, Treasure Coast Food Bank utilizes two measurable strategies to alleviate hunger among the more than 100,000 individuals found to be food insecure in our community. First strategy: we share millions of nutritious meals each year with food-insecure individuals through food distribution programming. Meals, which have been procured, stored, and inventoried by TCFB, are shared seven days a week through TCFB-coordinated mobile pantry distributions, our child nutrition programs during the school year and over the summer, with more than 250 collaborative partner organizations (human service agencies, churches) that serve low-income clients who are in need of immediate relief from hunger, and other programs. TCFB has formed these collaborations in order to create a highly-efficient emergency food distribution network that extends into the hundreds of diverse neighborhoods that constitute Florida’s Treasure Coast and Okeechobee County. Second strategy: TCFB manages direct-service programs that ultimately help people transcend the need for government and charity support and thus ultimately, achieve long-term self-sufficiency. These programs are known as our “Strengthen Individuals & Families Programming.”

Good Sense Movement
Good Sense Movement is an organization that believes deeply in the fact that stewardship of financial resources lies at the heart of Christian discipleship. As a result of that belief, we are passionately committed to raising the level of biblical stewardship education and training for churches, ministries, organizations, and individuals to equip families for financial freedom. We further believe that the failure of the church to articulate a biblical perspective on money and possessions yields the day to the seductive messages of materialism. Given the importance of finances in the day-to-day lives of individuals, we also believe it is an act of self-marginalization by the church to not speak into this arena. We yearn for the day when it is normative for the local church to have a vibrant financial stewardship ministry and are committed to doing what we can to make that day a reality. Scriptural support for the spiritual significance of one’s relationship to money includes the following: Matt. 6:21 – Where your treasure is your heart (the very essence of who you are) will be. Matt. 6:24 – You cannot (it is impossible!) serve both God and money. Matt. 13 – In the parable of the sower, Jesus indicated it was the deceitfulness of riches that choked out the Word of God and made it unfruitful. 1 Tim. 6:10 – The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Without going any further (and we could with many more scriptures), these four references make the case very well for why our relationship to money is spiritually significant!

Peacebuilding Solutions Ltd.
Peacebuilding Solutions operates with a simple, yet revolutionary, humanitarian aid model. Put simply, we let the needs of the community dictate how we deliver aid. This means acting in a way so as to empower in the long-term the communities we serve rather than add to the cycle of dependence by focusing on short-term, contract projects. At PS, we feel that those who do not attempt to make themselves a part of the community they wish to serve will never fully understand the needs of the community, nor gain the trust of those in need.
