While the world has experienced a pandemic that’s left many in an unknown and unsure place in 2020, especially the unfortunate individuals who continue to struggle even more with loss of their jobs and not having enough money to feed their families.

Second Chance Last Opportunity’s virtual classes are held twice a week, and emergency food is distributed twice a week. Baby supplies for mothers are provided twice a month, in the beginning and the end of month.

These events empower girls and women to stand firm in their beliefs of who they will become, or already became, without limitations to moving into their purpose.

The “I Am That I Am” pledge gives them one of the tools for finding their passion, for moving forward into being strong, brilliant and powerful.

The schedule for SCLO services as follows:

  • Mondays 10am – 2pm – On-the-job Training, 6 weeks
  • Tuesdays 10am – 3 pm – Preparing for food distribution for the next day
  • Wednesdays 11am – 3pm – Food Distribution to residents. Pick up groceries on the day assigned to you. Emergency Crisis Center number is required.
  • Thursdays 6-7 pm – Ladies Empowerment virtual classes
  • Fridays 11am – 3pm – Food Distribution to residents. Pick up groceries on the day assigned to you. Emergency Crisis Center number is required.

The SCLO “I Am That I Am” course is offered in the Sarasota County Jail in the ladies’ Recovery Pod.
