Programs

OVERVIEW

High engagement. Sustainable change.

That's our reputation because it is what we have always offered. Community members want to participate in—and partners want to support— Pleasant Street programs because it’s easy for everyone to see the positive impact we have on the lives of more than 600 families, friends, and neighbors, each week.
Food & Nutrition

FOOD & NUTRITION

Feeding good health

At Pleasant Street, we believe that truly nourishing food is essential for everyone. We are dedicated to tackling both food insecurity and the quality of food in our community. By collaborating with local farmers, food banks and local organizations, we ensure that individuals have consistent access to fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and healthier recipes that emphasize lower salt, sugar, and fat. Together, we're fostering a healthier, more vibrant community.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Restoring the whole person

We meet people where they are on their health journey. And then, together with our partners, we offer a variety of programs that address the many interconnected behavioral, social, and environmental factors that may be impacting their health. It’s an approach designed to empower our community members to make the changes that lead to greater wellbeing.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Making resource-full connections

 Our organization, we believe that everyone deserves access to vital resources, no matter their age. From teens to seniors, our community connects individuals with local, state, and federal services designed to support their needs. We strive to bring awareness about these valuable resources while also offering our own unique services, ensuring that every community member benefits from the support they deserve.

TRAINING

Enabling upward movement, and community resilience

We’re proud to have been part of the development of the University of Florida’s Community Health Workers (CHW) Program and of our ongoing recruitment and mentoring activities. We have provided a life-changing career opportunity for more than 20 individuals, to-date, whose new role, in turn, is to act as cultural ambassadors to healthcare, government, and social organizations and aid in coordinating services for their family, friends, and neighbors.
