Wear Gloves

Wear Gloves is a nonprofit that works with people who need stable housing and support to move out of dependency. Its Dignity House program in Ocala offers temporary shelter alongside mental health coaching, addiction recovery counseling, job training, and help with ID recovery, budgeting, and healthcare. Guests follow a structured twelve-month plan called Dignity Pathways that covers financial literacy, GED and education support, computer skills, and tenant education before moving toward housing security and steady work.

People can support the work by donating, sending items from the wish list, or becoming a Dignity Partner. The General Store at the Dignity House is stocked with donated household goods that guests can get at low cost. The organization has run since 2009 and is located at 98 NE 9th Street in Ocala.
