INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — In support of Camp Haven’s ongoing mission, the board of Grand Harbor Community Outreach Program, Inc., (GHCOP) and its Philanthropy Committee has awarded the organization $10,000 to help fund an on-site professional counselor who will work closely with residents as they participate in Camp Haven’s shelter-program for area homeless and at-risk men.
“We are so grateful to Grand Harbor Community Outreach for recognizing that in order for Camp Haven residents to achieve long term success following their participation in our transitional program, we must provide them with counseling that addresses the emotional, behavioral and life skills challenges that may have led them to their current situation,” said executive director, Lalita Janke.
“It’s not enough to provide these men with shelter, food and clothing. Our mission is to ensure every single participant takes the necessary steps to truly transform their lives for the better and ultimately become stable, self-sufficient, contributing members of our community,” said board member, Sheila Connors.
“Grand Harbor Community Outreach is pleased to support Camp Haven’s work to provide counseling and housing for unemployed men trying to get their life back together. As our neighbor at Grand Harbor, we are proud to partner with Camp Haven in their important mission,” said GHCOP Site Captain, Dale Jacobs.
