Help Agency of the Forest
Call us: 352-299-5830
The Houck family, (David, Tammy and 9 children) has been in ministry almost 20 years. David Houck is
the founder of Help Agency Inc. which includes Turning Point mentor centers, Food Bank, and Camp
Sozo.
The Help Agency has been serving the rural poor since 1993. Providing food, financial help, mentoring,
teen pregnancy help and prevention, and much more. The Agency currently serves thousands of families
each month with these services. We recognize the need to go beyond the everyday “food handout” and
reach out to a hurting community in compassion and love. Many of our clients live without electricity or
running water and need to be rescued from themselves (SoZo- to rescue, save, heal, make whole).
The Help Agency is now operating a summer camp facility in an effort to reach children in rural poverty,
as well as facilitate activities for other organizations in providing an amazing wilderness experience for children and families.
Camp SoZo is situated in the heart of the Ocala National Forest spanning over 70 acres of pristine
Forest land, surrounded on all sides by protected wildlife habitats and tall timber. The Camp also boast
a beautiful cold water lake that allows for swimming, canoeing and incredible fishing. As you peruse
our photo gallery you will see some of the wildlife we encounter daily as well as our facilities and
the amenities we have available.
