Mission and Vision of our organization
Mission: To support and advocate for needs that exist within Lake Wales, where existing service organizations are not well positioned to support or coordinate a service project.
Vision: Citizens of Lake Wales, in partnership with leaderships from several community service organizations, work toward ensuring support is provided to our citizens in need.
Partnership Community Service organizations include: Lake Wales Public Library, The Boys and Girls Club, Care Center, Lincoln Development, Bok Tower Gardens, Family Literacy Academy of Lake Wales, YMCA, churches, schools, the City of Lake Wales, and Lake Wales Chamber of Commerce.
