A Flagler County 501(c)(3) since 2009
Helping our neighbors recover. Providing hope while they do.
The Flagler County Drug Court Foundation’s mission is to support and promote the Flagler County Drug Court program, helping individuals recover from substance abuse and lead productive, healthy lives through community engagement, advocacy, and educational initiatives. Underneath every bit of it, what we provide is hope.
What we do
We take the pressure off, so recovery is what they can concentrate on.
The court supplies the judge, the case manager, the treatment plan and the supervision. It cannot supply a car part, a deposit, or a GED. That gap is the whole reason the Foundation exists — and we never bill the court a cent for any of it. Every dollar below comes from fundraising and donations in Flagler County.
Getting there
Court, probation, drug testing, treatment. Miss those appointments and a person is in trouble. We keep electric scooters on the road, buy the parts for volunteer mechanics to fix, help with gas money, and get free bicycles through our partnership with Bikeman of Flagler.
Getting a license back
Reinstating a suspended driver’s license runs $200 to $300 on top of whatever the court has ordered. We cover the reinstatement so someone can drive themselves. We do not pay anyone’s fines — that part is theirs, and paying it is part of the work.
Finishing school
In Flagler County, a participant without a high school diploma has to complete a GED to finish the program. If they need one, we pay for it.
Life skills
Budgeting, planning, the practical things nobody ever sat them down and taught. We run life skills programming, and we place participants in the community service the program requires of them.
Somewhere to live
A one-bedroom here is now $1,500 to $2,000, a room in someone’s house is $600 to $1,000, and a background check usually doubles the security deposit. We help with deposits, short-term rent, and a few nights in an approved motel when someone is between places.
Treatment the program doesn’t cover
Some people need specialized care the court’s provider does not offer. When we can, we pay for it, so the treatment plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
This is why our judges refer people to us. They can see what would help, and it sits outside what the court is allowed to do. Flagler County is one of the only drug courts in the state with a foundation behind it like this — and the judges say they would not want to work without one.
Give to something specific
Your gift buys a thing, not an abstraction.
Some of what we buy has a price tag on it. Here is what those dollars actually turn into.
$45
Narcan kits
Two-dose naloxone kits handed out free at community events, to families, and to people leaving treatment. We have given these away in Flagler County since 2019.
Give this$3,000
A year of rides to treatment
Missing appointments is one of the most common reasons a person is discharged from the program. Scooters, gas money and car parts run us $2,500 to $3,000 in a typical year — whatever it takes to get someone there.
Give this$1,200
A year of graduations
Graduation is what makes finishing feel like something. The Foundation puts on three a year, and together they cost us about $1,200 to hold.
Give thisSome things you can’t put a dollar amount on.
These matter just as much, and they cost whatever they cost. Give what you can and we will put it where it is needed.
Rent help & security deposits
Somewhere stable to live is a precondition for finishing the program. We cover security deposits and short-term rent so nobody has to choose between keeping a roof and keeping their treatment.
Give what you canSpecialized treatment
Some people need care the standard program does not cover. We pay for the specialized treatment a participant needs so that the plan fits the person, not the other way around.
Give what you canSkills training
Finishing the program has to lead somewhere. We pay for the training and certifications that turn a graduation into work someone can actually build a life on.
Give what you can[CLIENT — CONFIRM ONE FIGURE] Drug testing has been
removed from the site entirely: it is paid for by the drug court program, not the
Foundation. Please confirm the $1,200 graduations figure — the meeting
recording is ambiguous about whether that is the total for all three graduations in a
year or the cost of each one. Amounts live in one place per page
(data-amount).
What the program produces
The Flagler County Drug Court program, by the numbers.
About three in four people who graduate from the program are still arrest-free two years later, and graduates re-offend up to 26% less often than people whose cases go through traditional court.

Club 100 — our monthly circle
$10 a month. A hundred neighbors. Something always in hand.
A single gift helps once. A monthly gift is what lets us tell a case manager yes in the middle of February, when someone needs a car part, a deposit or a kit and there is no grant cycle coming.
Club 100 is exactly what it sounds like: a hundred neighbors giving $120 a year — $10 a month — so that the Foundation always has something in hand. It is the most useful money we receive.

Free, public, no questions asked
Learn to reverse an overdose in about twenty minutes.
In 2019 we became the first local nonprofit to secure a Florida Department of Children and Families grant to hand out Narcan at no cost. Since then we have trained county departments and school district staff, and we still give kits away at community events.

Upcoming events
Two big fundraisers a year carry most of what we spend, and a handful of small ones run by local businesses cover the rest. Every one of them is somewhere you can just show up.

Next class to be announced
About twenty minutes: recognizing an overdose, giving the spray, calling 911, and staying until help arrives. Free, and everyone leaves with a kit. We will also come to your business, church, school or civic club and run a session.
Request a training[CONFIRM BEFORE LAUNCH] Ride for Recovery is set for October 24; we still need the start time, the location and the rider fee. The Texas Roadhouse date is our note from the meeting (“this month, I think the 16th”) and needs confirming before this page goes live. The spring golf date is not set yet. Caliber Car Wash is deliberately not listed — that paperwork is not finished.
