Second Center of Hope Opens in Eastside

Jacksonville just launched its second Center of Hope on the Eastside, turning a neighborhood into a hub of support where families get everything they need—from diapers and food to job training and mental health care—all in one place. Designed to prevent crises before they start, the center builds trust by hiring local staff and empowering families through community-driven solutions. Inspired by the success of the first Center in Northwest Jacksonville—which slashed child abuse investigations and removals—it’s part of a bigger mission: train thousands of “Hope Builders,” turn parents into mentors, and help families move from crisis to stability and thrive.
