Celebrating Our First Grant Award!

We are proud to announce that Our Purpose Project, Inc. has been awarded a $5,000 grant from Sunshine Health to support our Backyard Missions Utility Assistance Program.

With this funding, we were able to provide utility assistance to 15 families in need. Each application went through our thorough intake process, verification steps, and case-by-case analysis, ensuring that families received the right support at the right time.

This grant represents not only financial relief for struggling households but also a significant step forward in our mission to help families in Central Florida thrive. We are deeply grateful to Sunshine Health for their partnership and commitment to community well-being.

Together, we are turning compassion into action, one family at a time.
