PRE·VAIL /pri’vāl/ to prove more powerful than opposing forces
To equip and inspire, so that others find hope to persevere and strength to prevail.
We are an ever-growing group of volunteers making a direct impact on the lives of people in need, in our own communities and beyond. Todd and Tina Marinshaw and Dara Hibben started iPrevail in 2013, after Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines. Today more than 1,400 unpaid volunteers carry that same commitment to foster homes, homeless neighbors, and disaster survivors across Central Florida and overseas.

OUR PROGRAMS
How We Show Up
Our care goes over and above the first response. We stay for the long road to full recovery, and we connect willing neighbors with the people who need their strength, wisdom, and skill. iPrevail is a registered 501(c)(3), and we serve because of our faith in Jesus.
Foster Friends
Foster teens need more than food and shelter. We salute the families who foster and adopt, and we rally volunteers in Oviedo and across Central Florida to show up with birthdays, mentoring, life skills, and everyday encouragement, so kids in group homes know someone is in their corner.
Hungry Saturday
Third Saturday of every month
Hungry Saturday
Feeding our homeless neighbors is how we meet the people who need a way out. On the third Saturday of every month, volunteers serve a hot meal at the Samaritan Resource Center in Orlando.
Disaster Recovery
Families who survive a disaster are too often forgotten once the first aid leaves. iPrevail started after Typhoon Haiyan and never stopped rebuilding. Volunteers fund home repairs, small businesses, and relocation for families in the Philippines and the US long after the first responders leave.
Bithlo Outreach
In Bithlo, Florida, volunteers deliver food, clothing, and friendship to families in one of Central Florida’s most overlooked communities. It is neighbor helping neighbor, block by block.
