Second Chance Supporters Celebrating 25 Years

In celebration of Second Chance Month, Operation New Hope hosted an event to thank our great employment and community partners who have supported our mission and helped us achieve success over the past 25 years. The evening began with happy hour drinks and hors d’oeuvres followed by the presentation of Second Chance Supporter Awards to our great partners to thank them for their years of support. Operation New Hope extends our most sincere thanks to these community partners:

• Allied Plastics 
• Goodwill Industries of Northeast Florida
• Camp Craft Cocktails
• Bono’s Bar-B-Q
• The Miller Electric Company
• Jacksonville Jaguars

What began as a vision to uplift a neighborhood struggling after years of neglect has evolved into a comprehensive Statewide Reentry Network reconnecting thousands of people with employment every year and breaking the cycle of poverty and incarceration for generations to come. As Operation New Hope marks our 25th year, it is not only a time for celebration but also reflection and rededication to our mission. The challenges facing justice-impacted communities continue to evolve, and the need for innovative solutions remains ever-present. We pledge to continue to expand to serve more and meet the critical needs of 600,000+ returning from Florida’s jails and prisons every year.

Thank you to all the great community partners who celebrated Second Chance Month and our 25th Anniversary at the Second Chance Supporter event. Here’s to 25 more years of #SecondChances!
