Richmond Heights Community Association, Inc.

Richmond Heights Community Association, Inc. – Resource Center was established after Hurricane Andrew to address the overwhelming needs based on the devastation incurred. With limited resources the community joined forces with other agencies to provide residents with the basic support needed to establish and return to a more stable living environment. As a result, we became a one-stop referral and community resource agency for the residents of Richmond Heights, as well as surrounding communities.

Through various community service provisions and partnerships, Richmond Heights Community Association, Inc. – Resource Center strives to provide an avenue that assists to improving the quality of life of the individuals and families we serve. Our team, along with the community, providers, organizations, business-community partnerships, volunteers, and mentors ensure that our customers’ basic needs are met – from various services, such as food (Farm Share Program, French Bakery, Publix Supermarket, Community Action and Human Service Department-Summer Meals Program ) transportation (Miami-Dade County Transit Disadvantaged Program), health referral (Humana Health Insurance), legal services (State Attorney Liaison Program), ACCESS Referral Partner (Automated Community Connection to Economic Self-Sufficiency), and more. We are and will continue to be driven by a desire to help and mobilize resources/services that meet and address the needs of everyone. 

We firmly believe that everyone has the right to opportunities that will improve their lives, so for that reason alone, we will continue to exhaust all efforts to assist in ensuring that provisions are available to each one in Richmond Heights, as well as the surrounding communities. We remain committed to helping others through the collective efforts of our funders, each supporting individual, local communities, program leadership, our Board of Director’s, and input from our partners. We will continue striving to be a catalyst providing the resources needed to establish a stronger and more informed community, by remaining a place of hope and an avenue where people can have access to a wide range of human services.
