HAND-N-HAND COMMUNITY SERVICES FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU
COMMUNITY EVOLUTION
Stumbling is not falling and we can't get up!
Community Evolution Begins and Ends with Mental Toughness
Poverty is all around us and we will not turn away from it! Everyone has a right to achieve his/her inherent potential. They cannot when they are constrained by the context of circumstances in which they find themselves.
As urgent as possible, actions, resources, and policies of noticeable impact need to be measurable and provide our existing and future residents with Quality Mental and Physical Health, Public Safety, and Economic Empowerment.
Partnerships/collaborations with the leaders who make a difference and the neighborhood residents advisory are Critical to Implement Strategies.
We, the residents of under-served neighborhoods are declaring Community Evolution, not only remaining in our declining neighborhoods but not giving up the fight to create a thriving community to be desired to be a resident. Will you join forces?
Sleepwalking through life means you are going about your day unconsciously. Meaning you’re in zombie mode and you mistake it for how life is supposed to be. You’re not aware of who you are or how you fit into the big picture of life. You don’t know what your purpose is. You’re likely just reacting to life instead of creating the life you want.
You may have had moments of realization and awakening, but found yourself lost in the daily grind. Here are signs you are sleepwalking through life. At the end of this list I will share with you some tips on how to wake up and stay awake.

This is the remains of Central Academy High School, the first accredited high school in the county of Putnam, Florida. It is also the first accredited high school for the Indigenous people, the so called Black people, in the state of Florida. Although it is listed in the National Registry as an Historic Site, strategies to restore or renovate it has not been included in the comprehensive plans of the city. The citizens has been impacted by this school in the form of choices to achieve their inherent potential as well as increased options for their lives. We should ask ourselves where we would be had Central Academy High School never existed and we should act in accordance for not only this structure but we should set missions to improve neighborhoods with thriving elements!
