Flagler Cares and One Voice for Volusia announce that the two organizations have merged into one corporate structure under Flagler Cares.
Flagler Cares will remain committed to providing a social safety net, behavioral health and outpatient counseling and prevention services for Flagler County. One Voice for Volusia is doing business as the Substance Use Prevention Coalition as a neutral community facilitator in Volusia County addressing risk factors and building protections to prevent youth substance use.
By joining forces, the two organizations will preserve what makes each organization unique but also enhance their ability to serve. Both communities, Flagler and Volusia, will benefit from the increased resources and cost savings, allowing for an even greater impact.
“This corporate merger represents the logical next step since the two organizations formed a formal partnership four years ago,” said Flagler Cares Chief Executive Officer Carrie Baird. “It is unique and important that a Flagler-focused organization is leading this regional approach as it is quite often the other way around.”
Kristy Amburgey, chief executive officer of One Voice for Volusia, said, “Collaboration is a core value for One Voice for Volusia, and the previous partnership and now merger solidifies our relationship to better serve both counties in innovative and coordinated ways. I truly see a bright future for Flagler Cares d/b/a One Voice for Volusia as we work with even more wonderful community providers and collaborators.”
Flagler Cares will host its next quarterly Help Night on Wednesday, July 31, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Flagler County Village Community Room, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B304, Palm Coast.
Help Night is organized and hosted by Flagler Cares and other community partners as a one-stop help event. Representatives from Flagler County Human Services, Early Learning Coalition, EasterSeals, Family Life Center, Florida Legal Services, Lions Club and many other organizations will be available to provide information and resources.
The event is open to the public, free to attend, and will offer assistance with obtaining various services including autism screenings, phones (low-income qualification), fair housing legal consultations, Marketplace navigation, childcare services, SNAP and Medicaid application assistance, behavioral health services and much more.
Flagler Cares is a non-profit agency focused on creating a vital, expansive social safety net that addresses virtually all the health and social needs of our community.
