Partner Spotlight

SPARTANBURG OPPORTUNITY CENTER

“When COVID hit our nation and the Upstate, GoForth Recovery was introduced to the Spartanburg Opportunity Center. Since April, men of GoForth have faithfully served by volunteering on Monday – Wednesday and Fridays helping the Spartanburg Opportunity Center by volunteering in whatever capacity they were asked to do.  Please take the time to visit their website, make it a point to visit them and ask their leadership Karl & Beth to speak at your churches. Get involved – the impact on our community and the services they provide to the homeless in Spartanburg in unrivaled. What a true blessing. We thank them for what the are doing and will continue to support in ANY way we can. ”
~ Larry GoForth, Co-Founder GoForth Recovery

 

“GoForth Recovery has stepped in to support the SOC with residents of their program helping out with the operations at the Center. Already an established partnership with GoForth Recovery, SPIHN applauds their efforts to help those in need. Their help at the SOC is invaluable and just another added beneficial service that they have provided the community. “
~ Beth Rutherford, SPIHN Executive Director

Beginning on August 12th, the SOC began conducting a pilot program to offer services in a limited capacity while building and growing incrementally and adding additional services over the coming months with the goal to become a multi service, collaborative center that will work to break the cycle of poverty. To offer a “Hand Up to Hope”

MARKET DESCRIPTION

Those in our community who are without shelter, in need of shelter, or at risk of losing their homes.

VALUE PROPOSITION

Spartanburg Opportunity Center offers immediate assistance for people who have nowhere else to turn. While shelters are becoming overcrowded and the homeless are forced onto waiting lists, there are people who have no other choice but to live on the streets. There is already a major issue with the criminalization of the homeless in America and this project will create a safe and worthwhile community for those needing assistance that is accomplished through the willing cooperation and altruism of conscientious individuals without suffering a cost to taxpayers. The community planning effort will result in a shared roadmap for a community-wide coordinated effort to efficiently and effectively address housing insecurity.

  • Human Dignity
  • Respect
  • Self-Sufficiency for those who can.
  • Support for those among us unable to live independently.
  • Quality service and responsible management of resources.
