Good News Outreach in Tallahassee stands as a shining example of the power of generosity during Giving Tuesday. Since 1986, this faith-based organization has been actively serving the local community. Their offerings include a weekly food pantry, a re-entry program for those recently released from prison, and an affordable housing community consisting of around 40 mobile homes. Currently, 14 of these units are vacant, and to fill them, they urgently need donations such as dressers, washers, dryers, hygiene products, twin XL sheet sets, and other essential housing items.

New Executive Director's Perspective

Talethia Edwards, the new executive director of GNO, shared her unexpected journey. She didn't anticipate taking on this role in the summer but has since fallen in love with what she does. "In the short time I've been here, it's clear that we have a significant amount of work ahead. The lives of the people we serve are in turmoil, and we must be well-prepared as we strive to make a meaningful impact," she emphasized.

About the Affordable Housing Community

The affordable housing community at Good News Outreach is a vital part of their services. With approximately 40 mobile homes, it provides a stable living environment for many. However, the current vacancy of 14 units poses a challenge. These homes offer a sense of home and stability to those in need, and filling these vacancies is crucial for the well-being of the community.

The Urgency of Donations

To get the affordable housing community back on track and provide homes for those in need, donations are essential. Dressers, washers, dryers, hygiene products, and twin XL sheet sets are just some of the items that can make a significant difference. Each donation helps to create a more comfortable and livable space for the residents. It shows that the community cares and is willing to support those in difficult situations.
