Open Arms 4 Brevard
Open Arms 4
Brevard is an organization composed of volunteers, dedicated to offering support to the
community at large. We offer a variety of services to include the collection
of food for the unemployed families and their children of Brevard County,
Florida.
Our organization
is based on caring. The volunteers are aware of and can feel the same financial pressures
that most everyone across the country is experiencing. Most of the individuals that now find
themselves out of work are not familiar with, nor have they ever had the need to turn to an
outside source for help. Some are prideful or embarrassed by their current circumstances. We
recognize the many emotions that these people are experiencing. With great heart and
determination we are sincerely dedicated to letting the community know that we are here,
we do care, there is no judgment and we are here to
help.
