Stronger Together in Central Florida

The Central region powers Florida’s economy with its world-class attractions and hardworking communities. Yet, despite this hub of opportunity, poverty and crises continue to threaten family stability.

Better Together provides temporary childcare, mentorship, and job connections for parents, ensuring children remain safe at home.

Voices of our church partners

“Neighborhood Church has been blessed to partner with Better Together to help keep families together. They connected us to needs we were able to meet, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to meet the ones we couldn’t. They take a holistic approach to identifying and addressing the various factors that contribute to family separation, and present the opportunity to meaningfully support the most basic unit of society: the family.”

Pastor Cory Demmel

Neighborhood Church, Lakeland, Florida

“Helping meet the needs of vulnerable children and families is an undeniable command from God to His church. Better Together is an organized catalyst to empower the church to better serve those hurting in their community! At South Oak, we love the partnership!”
