The Help. Hope. Healing. campaign is a significant endeavor that will enable JCOC to dramatically increase the number of people we lead out of hunger and homelessness.
The centerpiece of the campus will be a new 20,644 sq.ft. building complex to provide:
- 38 affordable-housing units (approx. 300 sq.ft. each), greatly expanding JCOC’s role in building a bridge for the homeless to move into permanent homes of their own.
- A more inviting, flexible and cost-effective dining hall and safe space for those dealing with food insecurities. The complex will house our Community Dinner, Food Pantry and Family Food Box programs.
- New administrative offices for JCOC’s Rapid Rehousing and supportive programs to help participants achieve self-sufficiency.
This campaign comes at an especially critical time. The pandemic has battered the local economy and the employment market, dislodging even more people from the moorings of job and home stability. Escalating rental rates compound issues confronting our clients. These disruptions will be felt for years to come. The vision of the Help. Hope. Healing. campaign is to build facilities and deliver services to counter the impact of these negative forces.
This effort will bring together the City of Virginia Beach, the Commonwealth of Virginia, community leaders and a broader philanthropic base in a true public-private partnership to dramatically improve JCOC’s capacity to serve those in need.
Help. Hope. Healing. is not just about a building—it is about changing peoples’ lives. Thank you for considering a gift of support to the campaign. Your contribution is an investment in saving lives and improving our community..
