Where Community Shows Up for Community.
Hopkins Heroes is St. Cloud's 501(c)(3) nonprofit giving children a stronger start, honoring seniors with dignity, and building the kind of neighborhood where everyone belongs.
From Back-to-School Bashes to Trunk or Treat celebrations, we show up because St. Cloud deserves nothing less.
Who We Are
Hopkins Heroes
Hopkins Heroes was founded in St. Cloud, Florida, by Stephanie Gilbert: a 30-year resident whose love for her community became a movement. Guided by a board of seasoned educators, business strategists, fundraising professionals, and civic leaders, we deliver programs that meet real needs; from Back-to-School Bashes stocked with supplies and haircuts to Easter Egg Hunts and Trunk or Treat events that bring hundreds of neighbors together.
We serve children heading into a new school year with confidence, seniors who deserve to feel seen and supported, and families who understand that a thriving neighborhood takes intentional, consistent investment. Rooted in Osceola County and powered by the volunteers and partners who believe in us, Hopkins Heroes has grown steadily because this community chose to show up for itself.
Our Mission
Today, we’re excited to share a new, effortless way for local businesses to expand access for our organization and support without spending one extra dollar.
Through a strategic partnership with Share360, your investment activates something smarter than a one-time donation: a consistent, sustainable fundraising engine that grows our capacity without placing a single dollar of additional burden on the people we serve.
By standing with Hopkins Heroes, you're standing with every child in Osceola County who deserves to walk into school prepared, every senior who deserves to feel the warmth of a community that hasn't forgotten them, and every family working hard to build a life worth living in St. Cloud.
