About New Beginnings of Central Florida
New Beginnings, a 501(c)(3) not for profit, was founded in June 2007 by concerned community leaders who saw far too few services available in Central Florida for those losing their jobs and homes.
Today, New Beginnings of Central Florida offers social service offices in Kissimmee, Clermont and Winter Garden. Our mission is to empower people to overcome the pain of poverty and the alienation of homelessness. New Beginnings offers comprehensive assistance to those who want to change.
