The suicide rate among veterans has increased 35% since 2001. Nearly 50,000 veterans are homeless and another 1.4 million are at risk of being homeless. These heroic men and women risk their lives and sacrifice personal comfort and relationships to serve their country. When they return, they are often plagued by PTSD and lack of support from family and friends, and have little or no framework for re-entering civilian life. Located in Lake City, Florida - only two hours south of Jacksonville - Veterans Inn fights daily against the adverse circumstances that plague our heroes. Veterans receive housing, food, employment assistance, and the support and resources they need to recover, rehabilitate and reintegrate themselves into civilian life.

Arnette House seeks to protect the public by preventing juvenile delinquency and child abuse through the strengthening of youth and families in communities. The organization works under the philosophy that everyone deserves a helping hand in a time of need. It provides most services free of charge, making it possible to include those who cannot obtain services elsewhere for economic reasons. Arnette House focuses on prevention services to divert youths and families from state intervention, lessening the burden already placed on the Department of Children and Families, the Department of Juvenile Justice and the Department of Corrections. The agency provides residential programs, emergency shelter, transitional living programs, youth development programs, food services, counseling, and education and recreation. It is located in Ocala, Fla.
