VOICES OF
HOPE
"Consistent food assistance helped me provide nutritious meals for my children when I was struggling to find stable work. Assistance I received from C.O.C. was my family's lifeline during our first months in Clearwater. Through C.O.C's support, I was referred to employment programs that gave me hope for long-term independence."
