Orlando Showed Up to Race in Support of Hope

The Hope Starts Here 5k in Orlando was a great success! Participants and sponsors enjoyed a beautiful morning by Baldwin Lake while supporting efforts to reconnect people to the workforce, their families, and our communities after involvement with the criminal justice system. Thanks to everyone who came out to race in support of Second Chances and Hope! 

Proceeds from the Hope Starts Here 5k will benefit Operation New Hope, where we believe that we are all better than our worst mistake, worst day, or worst decision. For over 20 years, we have worked to build a stronger community by creating opportunities for people with a record to realize second chances. Funds raised will be used to provide career readiness training, mental health services, and job placement to help people become successful and self-sufficient and break the cycle of incarceration and poverty. 

Operation New Hope thanks our Hope Starts Here 5k event sponsors: Reform Alliance, The Southern Group, Lloyd Commercial, Checkr, Rahman Johnson, Miller Electric, West Orange Endocrinology, CareerSource Central Florida, bestbet, and B Physical Therapy.
