(now Family Impact Palm Beach County) started as an organization in 1995 when residents decided it was time to fight back against crime and take back their community off Military Trail near Lake Worth Road in Palm Beach County, Florida. We obtained our nonprofit status in 1999 and began our steady growth in membership, scope, programming, and budget.

Since the beginning, the residents have worked with publicly elected and appointed officials to push for infrastructure improvements and neighborhood beautification, increase educational opportunities, and continue to re-sew the fabric of the community. With help from Palm Beach County government, Lake Worth West became the first target revitalization area in what is now known as CCRT (Countywide Community Revitalization Team) that was established by the Board of County Commissioners within the Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning Department.

The improvements didn’t stop there. Through the Office of Community Revitalization (OCR), we were the first neighborhood to receive neighborhood parks in the heart of our community and the first to get a community policing and resident involvement in turning an old “crack house” into a neighborhood community center.

What followed was even more incredible. Roads were paved, drainage installed, homeowners’ houses were painted, and yards and landscaping was added. In essence, what was a rundown community was cleaned, beautified and revitalized for residents to improve their lives.

Help also came from the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County which funded the Family Resource Center project in 2002. An agency affiliated with Barry University in Miami was contracted to run the center in an office space in a shopping plaza near our neighborhood. By 2003, after all the revitalization work, the center was relocated to the community – and our agency was given the approval to run it.

Children’s Services Council later selected us as one of 10 BRIDGES sites in Palm Beach County. That enabled us to provide vital programming for increasing healthy births, preventing and reducing child abuse and neglect; preparing children so they are ready to learn when they start school; and having children be at grade level by the time they reach third grade.

And that’s how the Lake Worth West Community Center came to be. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished to transform Lake Worth West into a community we are all proud of today.

In 2023, the organization went through a rebrand and as a result, Lake Worth West Resident Planning Group started doing business as Family Impact Palm Beach County. It is a name that reflects the actual work that we do for the community.

It all began with a promise.

My name is Nancy G. Brinker and in the year 1980 I had to watch my selfless, courageous, and brilliant sister Susan lose her battle with breast cancer at the age of 36. Before she passed she made me promise her 1- that I would find a cure to this disease and 2- that all women would have access to the resources needed to fight women’s cancers.

After founding and building Susan G. Komen for over 40 years and raising 3 billion dollars I knew it was time to start fulfilling the second promise I made to Suzy, helping women access lifesaving care.

I was sitting at my computer in spring of 2018 when a I came across a study that found that my home state of Florida ranked LAST in the nation for its share of nonelderly women with health insurance. After doing more research I found that my own county, Palm Beach County, had some of the worst health disparities for women, especially women with cancer.

This was it, this was how I was going to fulfill my second promise to my beloved sister, I was going to fundamentally change the healthcare system, starting with the one in my backyard.

I called up two of my closest friends, Julie Fisher-Cummings and Laurie Silvers, who have also dedicated their lives to working to improve quality of life for men and women of all socioeconomic backgrounds in many different areas of need. They couldn’t believe what was happening to women with breast and cervical cancer in our own community and together we formed the Promise Fund of Florida.

Now this organization may not have my sister’s name but it does have her fiery spirit. I can feel her pushing me everyday to fight for these women who cannot get cancer care. I will never forget when I was sitting with Suzy in the hospital and we looked out into the waiting room and saw a sea of women helplessly pleading for care. She turned to me and said:

“where a woman lives shouldn’t determine whether she lives”.

I am reminded of these words everyday as I work to help all women prevent and fight breast and cervical cancer. Every woman deserves lifesaving care and the Promise Fund won’t rest until no woman dies from late stage breast or cervical cancer.

I was once asked, “what would Suzy say about the work you are doing with the Promise Fund?” And I responded “she would tell me to hurry up and get it done.” I know Suzy is cheering me on and would be so proud of all the work we have done and will continue to do for women.

From its humble beginnings in a borrowed warehouse, the Farmworker Coordinating Council has grown into a diverse social services agency that addresses the continuing barriers to basic needs faced by farm workers in Palm Beach County. The FWCC continues serving over 10,000 migrant farm workers and their families in Palm Beach County. The agency now provides a range of social services with a staff of 13 full time and 1 part time professionals working from two offices: Lake Worth and Belle Glade.

The agency receives funding from the United Way and Palm Beach County, Town of Palm Beach United Way, Palm Beach County as well as from private foundations and individual donors. The Council continues to grow and shape its programs around the acute needs of the farmworker community.​
