Opening Doors Northwest Florida has served in our community for over 30 years.
Homelessness can affect anyone: people with jobs, people with kids, people with a college education, people who have served our country, the person behind you in the grocery store checkout, the person sitting next to you at church.
It is our goal to raise awareness in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties about the true nature of homelessness, establish a better way to fund programs that truly help the homeless and guide public giving toward coordinated resources.
With generous support from the community, Opening Doors Northwest Florida is ensuring families and individuals meet their most basic needs. By partnering with people like you, we are helping to break the cycle of homelessness.
