New Beginnings of Central Florida — Local services in Clermont

My daughter ended up there. She had been assaulted and sent by a hospital that assumed she was homeless. Their no contact policy meant she couldn't call home.

She had to work in their thrift store to 'pay' for her accommodation.

After a week someone from their organization contacted us with the statement that if we were looking for her she was safe. No details on how to contact her or where she was.

There was a statewide missing persons bulletin out for her and she was there without her glasses or contact lenses. She had none or her medications and this place was presumably relying on the power of prayer.

I suspect they mean well but their execution is shoddy. The place she was living in was unhygienic and when we did get her back she had numerous bug bites all over her body as well as an untreated infection. The night before we got her she had gene unable to sleep because of grave fears and bad thoughts which in the past had led to issues. There was no phone or means of calling for help.

If you aim to get help from New Beginnings be very wary, heck and verify what you expect and what you receive. In our daughters case they left her worse off emotionally than when she arrived. There was no liaison with missing persons or the police and their ability to provide theraputic services is...

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and the incredible team that makes it so special—Gio, Rhonda, Michelle, and the amazing Linda. Each of them brings something unique to the table, and together they create an environment that's not only welcoming but also deeply impactful.

Gio's passion and dedication are evident in every interaction. Rhonda's warmth and kindness make you feel right at home, while Michelle's expertise and professionalism ensure that everything runs smoothly. And then there's Linda, whose energy and positivity are truly contagious.

What I love most is how much they care about the community. It's not just about providing a service; it's about making a real difference in people's lives. They go above and beyond, and it shows in everything they do.

If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated with respect, care, and genuine warmth, look no further. This team is the best of the best, and I can't recommend them...

Do not waste your time donating anything to this place. My friend had 7 bags of woman's clothes to donate and several bags were brand new with the tags still on it. New Beginnings is where she wanted to donate to. We live over 20 miles away so we called before we left and were told they were accepting donations until 3pm. When we arrived at 1:30 pm we went to the back and the man told us they were not accepting any donations today. (this was on tuesday) We explained to him that we called before coming and it fell on deaf ears. I pulled around the front and go inside to talk to the manager. I told him how far we drove and that we called before we came. He said there was nothing he could do. We left there and drove to another donation place and they were so thrilled to get so many bags of clothes. The guy said that it has been a while since they saw that many new clothes and were so thankful for the items. I will never go back to new...
