Overview

Mission

We unite people and resources across the Florida Keys to ensure familiesdespite geographic and transportation barriershave access to coordinated care, maternal and mental health support, education, and services that promote healthy pregnancies and safe and thriving children.

What it reported doing in 2024

Keys to Supporting Families reduces financial stress and improves food security for families in the geographically isolated Florida Keys, where limited retail access and high living costs make essential baby supplies difficult to obtain. The program provides diapers, formula, baby food, clothing, and critical infant equipmenthelping families preserve scarce income for housing and other necessities. This fiscal year, over 800 families were served, and through partnerships with local food pantries, FKHSC remains the Keys leading provider of infant formula and baby food.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
