I recently did the website and corporate identity for an up and coming non-profit in Fort Pierce called Grace Way Village. Grace Way Village looks to allow "every Treasure Coast family to be able to live in total physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health." While they just started in January of 2010, I expect great things.
Currently they will offer tutoring and mentoring for children who might be struggling scholastically for a number of reasons, they have a much needed children's clothing closet, they have offered to soon begin feeding those who need a meal on Sunday nights (the only night of the week there is no such food kitchen in Fort Pierce), and will also have a referral service to point others towards help that Grace Way cannot yet provide.
The non-profit hopes to expand later by adding recovery programs, and housing for those who wish to be rehabilitated from homelessness and the problems that are associated with it. They are an example of what I think we need, which is an institution that is willing to take the time to treat the whole problem of homelessness, rather than filling up the same empty stomach every week.
