Community Partners
Stronger Together
We are deeply grateful for the organizations, businesses, and professionals who have chosen to partner with Circle of Hope. Each contributes in different ways—from specialized expertise and practical assistance to valuable services and generous financial support.
Together, we can do far more than any one organization could do alone—strengthening the care we provide, expanding the help available to the people we serve, and connecting them with resources and opportunities throughout our community.
We are honored to introduce those who stand alongside us in making that possible.
Emotional well-being can be just as important as physical health during pregnancy and the months that follow. We are incredibly grateful for our collaboration with Abundant Health & Wellness Counseling Services, which gives Circle of Hope clients access to individual behavioral health counseling specifically designed for women during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood.
Karina Curtis, MA, a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida, brings years of experience working with women through a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, trauma, abuse, postpartum depression, postpartum rage, and postpartum PTSD. Her specialized training through the Gottman Institute includes Bringing Baby Home and Emotion Coaching.
We are truly thankful to have a trusted partner who recognizes how much a mother’s emotional well-being matters and helps ensure that the women we serve have someone knowledgeable and compassionate to turn to when they need additional support.
Expectant and new mothers may be eligible for medical equipment and supplies through their health insurance, but many don't realize what is available or how to access it.
Through our work with AdaptHealth, Circle of Hope helps families navigate those benefits and obtain items such as breast pumps, lactation equipment, pregnancy and postpartum supplies, and other medically appropriate equipment ordered by our healthcare provider.
By making the process easier to understand and navigate, we can reduce practical barriers, limit unnecessary out-of-pocket costs, and help mothers obtain important equipment during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early months with a new baby.
We are incredibly grateful for AdaptHealth’s partnership and the important role they play in helping mothers access the equipment and supplies they need during pregnancy and after their babies arrive.
We are incredibly grateful for our collaboration with Alpha Center in Ocala, whose generosity helps Circle of Hope respond to some of the most immediate and practical needs families bring through our doors. By sharing much-needed baby supplies with us, Alpha Center helps ensure that parents facing difficult circumstances have access to essential items for their little ones when they need them most.
Their kindness extends far beyond the supplies themselves—it brings comfort, relief, and reassurance to families during vulnerable moments. We are truly thankful for Alpha Center’s generosity and for the meaningful difference this partnership makes in the lives of the parents and children we serve.
Through our partnership with CarePortal, Circle of Hope can connect families facing difficult circumstances with local churches and caring individuals who are ready to respond in practical ways.
CarePortal helps families access items and assistance such as beds, baby essentials, clothing, household goods, transportation, and other urgent necessities that may fall outside what Circle of Hope can provide directly.
This partnership expands the circle of people able to step in when a family is struggling, helping us respond more quickly, address immediate challenges, and connect families with meaningful help when it is needed most.
We are incredibly thankful for our partnership with CarePortal and for the churches, organizations, and individuals who so generously step forward to help meet the real, immediate needs of the families we serve.
We are proud to partner with Charity Mobile, a wireless provider that has been helping customers support pro-life and pro-family organizations since 1996.
When customers choose Circle of Hope as their designated charity, Charity Mobile contributes 5% of their monthly plan price to our ministry at no additional cost to the customer. Charity Mobile currently supports more than 2,000 organizations and has directed millions of dollars to charities across the country.
With nationwide coverage, a variety of wireless plans, and live U.S.-based customer service, Charity Mobile offers a simple way to make an everyday expense support a cause you care about.

High-quality ultrasound services are an important part of the medical support Circle of Hope provides. Our collaboration with Happy Heart Imaging Service allows us to offer comprehensive obstetric ultrasound imaging with an outstanding level of physician oversight, combining advanced technology and extensive expertise with a genuine commitment to the women and families we serve.
The generosity of Happy Heart Imaging Service extends well beyond medical care. Space is graciously provided for Circle of Hope classes, book clubs, meetings, and programs, including our Embrace Life group, creating a welcoming place for families to gather, learn, and build meaningful connections.
We are deeply appreciative of all Happy Heart Imaging Service contributes to Circle of Hope and especially thankful to have them as an integral part of our care team and the work we do.
Working closely with Innovex Labs, a Gainesville-based clinical laboratory, allows Circle of Hope to provide advanced testing for women’s health, urinary tract infections, and a broad range of sexually transmitted infections.
Their molecular and microbiological capabilities give our medical team accurate, timely information to guide appropriate treatment and next steps in care, including more complex infections and antimicrobial resistance when indicated.
We are truly thankful for the expertise Innovex Labs brings to Circle of Hope and for their unwavering commitment to the quality, accuracy, and reliability our patients deserve.
We have tremendous appreciation for the Knights of Columbus councils throughout Gainesville and the surrounding communities for the extraordinary support they have given Circle of Hope. Their involvement has gone far beyond financial contributions—they have generously shared their time, talents, skills, and willingness to serve wherever help was needed.
From providing financial assistance to rolling up their sleeves and helping renovate and improve our center, the Knights have invested in this mission in ways we will never take for granted. Their efforts have helped us create a welcoming place where women, men, babies, and families can receive the care and practical help they need.
We are profoundly thankful for the friendship, dedication, and spirit of service the Knights of Columbus bring to Circle of Hope. Their commitment to putting faith into action has made a lasting difference, and we feel incredibly blessed to have them as such a meaningful part of our Circle of Hope family.
We greatly value our relationship with Lifetime Adoption, a trusted resource for women considering whether adoption may be right for them and their babies. Their compassionate team provides personalized guidance, education, and ongoing support, helping expectant mothers understand their options and make thoughtful, informed decisions.
For those who choose to explore adoption, Lifetime Adoption can help them learn about prospective families, understand the process, create an adoption plan that reflects their wishes, and receive support throughout pregnancy and beyond placement.
We are especially appreciative of having a trusted resource we can confidently connect women with, knowing they will be met with kindness, patience, and genuine care.
Circle of Hope is very proud to partner with National Fatherhood Initiative® (NFI), a national leader in strengthening father involvement and helping organizations better serve dads and families.
At Circle of Hope, we believe fathers can play an incredibly important role in the lives of their children. We want dads to feel welcomed, valued, and supported as they navigate the responsibilities, questions, and challenges of fatherhood. Through NFI, our team receives specialized training, evidence-based resources, and proven strategies to better engage, encourage, and equip fathers throughout pregnancy and parenthood.
With one in four children in the United States living without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home, this work matters. Research shows that involved fathers can positively influence a child’s emotional well-being, education, relationships, and future stability.
We are incredibly excited about what this partnership brings to the fathers and families we serve. By investing in dads, we have an opportunity to strengthen relationships, encourage families, and make a difference in children’s lives that can last for generations.
Our collaboration with Nurse-Family Partnership is especially meaningful to us. Their dedicated nurses walk alongside first-time mothers during pregnancy and continue supporting them after their babies arrive—offering trusted guidance, encouragement, and practical support during such an important time in a family’s life.
We especially appreciate the personal relationships their nurses build with mothers, helping them navigate pregnancy, prepare for parenthood, care for their babies, and grow in confidence along the way.
There is something incredibly reassuring about knowing a mother will have a caring, knowledgeable nurse continuing to show up for her well beyond pregnancy. We are so grateful to work alongside a program that invests so wholeheartedly in both mothers and their babies.
Families facing difficult circumstances often need help in several areas of life at once. Working closely with One Community Family Resource Center helps connect the families we serve with critical assistance for housing, food, utilities, employment, healthcare, and other essential needs.
Our organizations work side by side—sharing resources, making thoughtful referrals, and helping families access services more easily and with greater continuity of care. This collaboration allows both organizations to respond more effectively when families are navigating multiple challenges.
We are truly thankful for the compassion, generosity, and commitment One Community Family Resource Center brings to families throughout the Gainesville community and deeply value all they contribute to the work we do together.
When someone is experiencing domestic violence, abuse, or an unsafe relationship, having the right help available can change everything. Our partnership with Peaceful Paths gives Circle of Hope families access to specialized support when safety, protection, and stability are urgently needed.
For some of the women and families who come through our doors, pregnancy may be complicated by a controlling relationship, housing instability, or concerns for their safety. Through Peaceful Paths, we can connect them with experienced advocates and specialized domestic violence resources that complement the ongoing support and practical assistance available through Circle of Hope.
We greatly value this partnership and the reassurance of knowing that when a family needs this level of help, trusted professionals are beside us—ready to respond with compassion, expertise, and care.
Premier Moms
Investing in a mother’s future can create opportunities for an entire family. Our collaboration with Premier Moms provides practical training, personalized mentoring and coaching, professional development, and meaningful networking opportunities for those pursuing education, employment, and greater stability.
We especially value the way Premier Moms recognizes not only where each woman is today, but all that she can become. With encouragement, guidance, and someone who believes in her potential, new possibilities can begin to feel within reach.
At the heart of our work together is a belief we are proud to share: motherhood does not have to mean giving up on an education, a career, or long-term dreams. We are truly thankful for Premier Moms and the way they invest in brighter futures, helping women and families build greater stability and move toward the life they envision.
It is a joy to join Read & Rise Initiative in helping families discover that literacy can begin during pregnancy and grow from the very first days of a baby’s life! Together, we encourage parents to read, talk, and sing to their babies before birth and continue those simple, meaningful routines throughout infancy—surrounding little ones with language, closeness, and the comforting sound of a parent’s voice.
Families receive age-appropriate books, practical resources, and encouragement that support early language development, parent-child bonding, and a strong foundation for reading and learning.
We are incredibly appreciative of Read & Rise and their commitment to helping parents give their children a beautiful beginning—one voice, one story, and one loving connection at a time.
We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary generosity and friendship of St. Patrick Catholic Church and its parishioners. From sponsoring Circle of Hope’s first Pro-Life Symposium to routinely providing prenatal vitamins, diapers, baby supplies, grocery cards, gas cards, and so much more, the St. Patrick community continues to help us meet the real, everyday needs of mothers, fathers, babies, and families.
St. Patrick also generously sponsors our Embrace Life and Embrace Legacy groups, helping us provide ongoing support that strengthens parents both practically and spiritually.
We are profoundly thankful for St. Patrick Catholic Church and its parishioners. Their continued generosity is a beautiful example of faith put into action and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the families we serve.
Even a cup of coffee can become a meaningful way to help women, men, babies, and families! Seven Weeks Coffee is a mission-driven company committed to strengthening pregnancy centers and organizations across the country. The name “Seven Weeks” reflects an important milestone in early human development—the stage when a baby is about the size of a coffee bean. It beautifully connects an everyday purchase with a commitment to supporting life.
When purchases are made through Circle of Hope’s unique Seven Weeks Coffee link, 15% comes directly back to our organization, helping fund the medical services, practical assistance, and ongoing programs we provide in our community.
We love that Seven Weeks Coffee gives our friends and supporters a simple way to make a difference through something they already enjoy! With every order, a simple cup of coffee becomes something more—a way to help Circle of Hope be there for women and families when they need us most.

We are incredibly grateful to have Tiny Footprints as part of the Circle of Hope family. With remarkable care and creativity, they create beautiful hand-sewn items—including their signature cloth napkins—and generously donate all proceeds to support the work of Circle of Hope.
Every item represents far more than thoughtful craftsmanship. It is a gift of time, talent, and heart that directly helps us serve mothers, babies, and families in need.
We are continually inspired by the love behind every stitch and the extraordinary generosity of Tiny Footprints. Their support is a beautiful reminder of the difference one person’s time, talent, and generosity can make in the lives of others.
Building the Circle: Questions About Partnering With Us
Being a community partner can look different for every organization. At the heart of our partnership model is a simple idea: we want to build on the incredible services already available in our community rather than duplicate them. This allows us to be responsible stewards of our resources while connecting individuals and families with organizations that already do certain things exceptionally well.
Most importantly, we want to build a strong community around the families we serve—one where organizations work together, gaps are filled, and people have access to a much wider circle of support and opportunity.
There is no financial commitment required. Partnership may be as simple as referring people to one another, sharing resources, collaborating when helpful, or finding other meaningful ways to work together.
Our circle of partners is intentionally broad because the needs of the people we serve touch nearly every area of life. We collaborate with healthcare professionals, churches, nonprofits, schools, businesses, community agencies, professional service organizations, and others that can bring meaningful expertise, services, resources, or opportunities.
We are also highly selective and intentional about who we partner with. Before establishing a relationship, we carefully consider an organization’s services, professionalism, responsiveness, reputation, experience, and—when relevant—credentials and policies. Most importantly, we look for a genuine commitment to compassion, integrity, excellence, and respect for every person who turns to them for help.
Some relationships are broad and ongoing; others focus on one specific service, program, resource, or need. We value both. Our goal is not to build the longest list of partners—it is to build deeply trusted, high-quality relationships with organizations that genuinely care, show up, follow through, and serve people exceptionally well.
We would love to welcome you into the work we’re doing! There are many ways for businesses, churches, schools, and community groups to share the time, talents, skills, and resources they already have to make a meaningful difference for the women and families we serve.
Your team could host a baby-item drive, teach a class or workshop, provide a meal, sponsor an activity, help with landscaping or a project at our center, share professional expertise, collect needed supplies, or volunteer together. Have another idea? We would love to hear it! And if you are not sure where to begin, simply ask us what would be most helpful right now.
Not at all! While some partners generously contribute financially, giving is only one of many ways to be part of what is happening at Circle of Hope.
Often, one of the greatest contributions a group can make is sharing a skill, service, or area of expertise that strengthens what Circle of Hope already provides or allows us to offer something more. Everyone brings something different to the table, and we truly value that.
We are equally thoughtful about the quality of the services and resources we connect families with. If we would not feel confident recommending something to someone we love, we would not offer it to the families who come through our doors.
Above all, we want these relationships to be genuine, collaborative, and rooted in a shared desire to help others. Whether you contribute time, talent, professional expertise, needed supplies, connections, or financial support, we are incredibly grateful for every organization that chooses to be part of the Circle of Hope community.
We would love to hear from you! We are always excited to learn more about organizations in our community, the work they are doing, and the unique strengths they could bring to Circle of Hope.
Please contact our Director of Strategy & Operations, Liesa Borrillo, at 352.355.6765 or liesa@circleofhopefl.com
You do not need to have a specific partnership idea in mind before reaching out. We would love to learn what your organization does best, share more about the needs we see every day, and explore together how our strengths and resources could make an even greater difference for the people we serve!
We do far more than simply provide referrals! Circle of Hope offers a wide range of essential and specialized services directly, while recognizing that no single organization can—or should try to—meet every need a person or family may face.
When a client would benefit from a service, resource, or opportunity beyond what we offer in-house, our community partners allow us to broaden the range of assistance available. We carefully consider each organization’s professionalism, responsiveness, experience, and ability to truly help. We recommend a partner because we believe they can make a real difference—not simply because their name appears on a resource list.
And when we make a referral, our involvement does not end there. We follow up, help navigate next steps, work through barriers, and stay involved to ensure the people who have trusted us receive what they need. If something is not working, we look for another path.
Together, our direct services and carefully chosen community relationships create a broad circle of care—one that allows us to respond fully to the unique needs of each person and family who walks through our doors.
Building the Circle: Questions About Partnering With Us
We would love to hear from you! Our partnerships are built around a simple question: What can we accomplish together that would be harder to accomplish alone?
We welcome conversations with healthcare providers, churches, nonprofits, businesses, schools, community organizations, and other groups whose services or resources may benefit the people we serve.
Together, we can explore where our missions and strengths naturally connect.
Being a community partner can look different for every organization. At the heart of our partnership model is a simple idea: we want to build on the incredible services already available in our community rather than duplicate them. This allows us to be responsible stewards of our resources while connecting individuals and families with organizations that already do certain things exceptionally well.
Most importantly, we want to build a strong community around the families we serve—one where organizations work together, gaps are filled, and people have access to a much wider circle of support and opportunity.
There is no financial commitment required. Partnership may be as simple as referring people to one another, sharing resources, collaborating when helpful, or finding other meaningful ways to work together.
Because complex challenges rarely have simple solutions. Housing, healthcare, finances, education, employment, relationships, childcare, and other needs can overlap in ways that no single organization is equipped to address alone.
Our wraparound approach brings together the strengths of many organizations so that people can access a wider circle of resources, expertise, connection, and opportunity.
It also helps us avoid duplicating excellent services that already exist and allows us to be responsible stewards of the resources entrusted to us.
Absolutely! A partnership can be as simple as helping meet one immediate need or as meaningful as building an ongoing relationship.
We regularly encounter opportunities to help that align naturally with the skills, services, resources, and generosity already present throughout our community.
Sometimes one connection, one resource, or one timely act of generosity can remove a barrier that once felt impossible to overcome.
We would be delighted to learn more about your organization and explore how we might work together!

Whether you already have an idea in mind or simply want to begin a conversation, we would truly love to hear from you and discover what we may be able to accomplish together.
Our circle of partners is intentionally broad because the needs of the people we serve touch nearly every area of life. We collaborate with healthcare providers, churches, nonprofits, schools, businesses, government and community agencies, professional service providers, and other organizations that can bring meaningful expertise, services, resources, or opportunities.
We are also highly selective and intentional about who we partner with. Before establishing a relationship, we carefully consider an organization’s services, professionalism, responsiveness, reputation, experience, and—when relevant—credentials and policies. We require a genuine commitment to compassion, integrity, excellence, and respect in the way people are served.
Some partnerships are broad and ongoing; others focus on one specific service, program, resource, or need. We value both. Our goal is not to build the longest list of partners—it is to build deeply trusted, high-quality partnerships with organizations that will show up, follow through, and serve people exceptionally well.
Does becoming a community partner require a financial commitment?
No. Becoming a Circle of Hope community partner does not require a financial commitment. Some partners choose to support our work financially, but partnership can take many meaningful forms.
In many cases, the most valuable contribution is simply bringing a strength, service, or resource that complements what Circle of Hope already provides. Whatever the form of partnership, we hold the quality of that support to a very high standard. If we would not feel confident recommending a service to someone we love, we would not feel comfortable referring the people we serve to it.
We want partnership to be genuine, collaborative, and rooted in shared purpose—not defined by a dollar amount. What matters most is a willingness to contribute something meaningful, provide exceptional service, and help strengthen the network of support available to the people who come through our doors.
We would be delighted to hear from you! Every partnership begins with a thoughtful conversation about your organization’s strengths, the people you serve, the services or resources you provide, and where there may be a meaningful opportunity to work together.
Because we take every referral and partnership very seriously, we also spend considerable time learning about your experience, responsiveness, professionalism, quality of service, and overall fit with the needs of the people who come through our doors. We are intentional about every partnership we establish because trust, reliability, and excellence matter deeply to us.
If there is a strong fit, we will work together to define a partnership that is clear, practical, and genuinely useful. That may involve providing a specialized service, accepting referrals, sharing expertise, contributing resources, supporting a program or event, or helping meet a specific need.
At Circle of Hope, partnership is not simply having your organization’s name on a list. It is about building a trusted, active relationship with people who will show up, follow through, communicate well, and use their strengths to make a meaningful difference. We take that responsibility seriously because, in the work we do, the stakes can be extraordinarily high—and at times, lives are at stake.
Absolutely! Some of the most powerful partnerships begin with a specific challenge and an organization willing to step in at exactly the right time.
We regularly encounter situations that align naturally with the skills, services, resources, relationships, and generosity already present throughout our community. Your organization may already have something that could make an immediate and meaningful difference—whether that is professional expertise, practical assistance, donated goods, employment opportunities, financial support, volunteers, or access to a specialized service.
A timely connection, practical resource, or extraordinary act of generosity can remove a barrier that once felt impossible—and in some situations, change the course of a life.
What begins as help in a single situation can also grow into a lasting partnership. If your business, church, or organization is able to solve a problem, open a door, or provide meaningful support, we would be genuinely excited to find a way to work together.
We would be truly delighted to hear from you and learn more about your organization, your work, and the strengths you may be able to bring into our circle of support.
Please contact our Director of Strategy & Operations, Liesa Borrillo, at 352.355.6765 or liesa@circleofhopefl.com.
Whether you already have a specific idea in mind or simply feel there may be an opportunity to work together, we would love to begin the conversation, learn what your organization does best, and explore how our combined strengths might make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve.
Complex challenges rarely have simple solutions. The people we serve are often facing concerns involving housing, healthcare, finances, education, employment, relationships, childcare, or several of these needs at the same time.
That is why we believe so strongly in working together. By uniting the strengths of trusted community organizations, we can surround each individual with practical help, specialized expertise, meaningful opportunities, and the kind of support that can make choosing life feel truly possible—and sustainable beyond the immediate decision.
Partnership also allows us to build on the excellent work already being done in our community rather than duplicate it—helping us reach further, respond more fully to real needs, and use every resource entrusted to us with great care and clear purpose.
Being a community partner is about bringing together what each organization does best to make a greater difference together. Every partnership can look a little different, and we love discovering where your strengths, services, expertise, or resources can have the greatest impact.
That might mean providing specialized services, accepting referrals, sharing professional expertise, offering practical resources, supporting programs or events, volunteering, or stepping in to help meet a specific need.
What matters most is the relationship. We want our partnerships to be collaborative, meaningful, and genuinely beneficial to the people we serve—creating a stronger, wider circle of support than any one organization could provide alone.
Absolutely—we do far more than simply provide referrals. Circle of Hope offers a wide range of essential services directly, while also recognizing that no single organization can—or should try to—meet every need alone.
When specialized care, expertise, or resources are needed beyond what we provide, we turn to trusted community partners. We are highly selective about the organizations we work with and consider the quality of their services, responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to genuinely help the people we serve. It is because we believe that partner can add real value—not simply because their name appears on a resource list.
And a referral is never meant to be a handoff. We routinely follow up, help navigate next steps, address barriers, and stay involved to help ensure the connection is successful. If something is not working, we do not simply leave someone to figure it out alone—we help look for another path.
Our goal is to create a true continuum of support: providing excellent services directly where we can, thoughtfully extending that support through carefully chosen partners where needed, and remaining engaged throughout the process. This allows us to surround each individual with practical help, specialized expertise, meaningful opportunity, and a stronger network of care than any one organization could provide alone.
