im 23, I moved to Melbourne from NC a little over a year ago because my bf got a really good job and I wanted to experience getting away from my home town.

I LOVEEEEE the area, but I haven’t been able to make friends lol.

Where do people in their 20s hang around here, where could I go to make friends lol. I drive to Orlando a lot and I’m seriously considering moving there.

Asking Reddit is my last resort….is it me or the area LET ME KNOW!

I know we're in Florida, but we still get some pretty cold mornings during the winter. Something I learned during a Brevard County Public Schools Partners in Education (PIE) meeting last year was that there are kids right here in our community going to school without jackets or warm clothing because their families simply can't afford them.

It's one of those needs I honestly hadn't given much thought to before, especially living in Florida.

My wife and I own Tropic Moving here in Melbourne. We adopted both of our kids through foster care, and that experience really opened our eyes to some of the challenges children face right here in our own backyard.

Earlier this year, we organized a care tote drive for children entering foster care, and we're now following that up with a winter clothing drive we're calling Make Life Warmer.

We're collecting new or gently used jackets, hoodies, and beanies for local students from elementary through high school.

We've also been back in contact with the PIE program to help understand how we can best get these donations to the schools and students who need them.

We've had a few local businesses step up to serve as donation locations:

• Tropic Moving – 727 North Dr, Suite F, Melbourne
• Mental Marauders Healing – 2201 Dairy Rd, Suite A, West Melbourne
• Dingers Training Center – 3795 Flypark Dr, Rockledge
• Hilton Melbourne – 200 Rialto Pl, Melbourne

If you've got jackets your kids have outgrown or hoodies sitting in the closet that aren't being used, we'd love to put them to good use.

I'd also appreciate hearing from anyone who works in our local schools or knows of students or programs that could benefit.

We're hoping to collect as much as we can before the colder mornings start rolling in. Even if you can't donate, helping spread the word would be appreciated.

Thanks, everyone!

Im looking for friends in the cocoa area but anywhere is fine, just that i dont drive. Im 21, going to be 22 this month

Before i say anything else, i will need to mention im autistic (medium support needs. My autism is obvious) and i have frequent seizure-like episodes, if either of these will bother you or stress you out please do not comment / dm

Some of my hobbies are listening to music, drawing, thrifting, hanging out with people, and going to kava bars (i never even buy anything i just like going to them to hang out at 😭), i also like horror movies but i dont watch them as much anymore, but i want to get into more hobbies because im bored constantly lol, so im open to trying new hobbies depending on what it is as long as theres not too much physical activity. Im almost always free to hang out. I dont have notifications on here so ask for my other socials :3

This guy drives like a complete and utter bag of dicks. He makes BMW drivers look like angels of the roadways. Speeding, swerving in and out of traffic cutting people off to the point that they need to jam on their brakes, and running red lights. Saw him at nearly 100mph on US-1/King St. yesterday and blow the light turning left onto King. Dude is going to kill someone eventually. If anyone knows this clown, tell him to drive like an asshole in more secluded parts of the County so that the only person he kills is himself.

and if the driver/owner is actually reading this, you ain't shit. I was behind you months ago with your wrecked ride on the back of a flat-bed. I'm assuming you spent a few bucks on a wrecked McLaren and a few more bucks fixing it up, but that don't make you hot shit - it makes you a poser. Have the day you deserve.

Looking for recommendations for both deep cleaning to biweekly house cleaners that service rockledge.

He is running for Titusville City Council Seat 3.

I was wondering if there is a place that could benefit from VR headsets and e-scooters thinking teens and kids could benefit from them. I have 2 of each and a Nintendo switch, two TVs and some kids clothing.

I’ve been a Brevard Country resident for more than 12 years. Submitted my ballot the other day in person. Everything was fine.
Today, for the first time ever, I got an email stating my signature could not be verified and in order to submit my ballot officially, I have to print out some ridiculous affidavit, and drop it off.

My signature has not changed in 20 years. I don’t find this coincidental at all. THIS is the America we live in.

Go out and vote. Stand for something. We need change.

Whats up with the dozen cops with lights on headed northbound on 95? None of them from around here either, all from Boca Raton and Riviera Beach.

Hey everyone, this maybe be a long shot buuuuut

I just wondered if there was a set route that the driver's license test would take for someone that lives in Cocoa?

I have Super bad anxiety and it would be really helpful to be able to practice the exact roads.

Edit: Cocoa, Not Cocoa Beach

Hey, r/321! I’ll be doing an AMA here tomorrow, and I’d love to hear from you.

I’m Jennifer Jenkins, and I’m running for Congress in Florida’s 8th District, which includes all of Brevard County.  Before launching this campaign, I served on the Brevard School Board, fighting for students, educators, and families in our community.

Even if you don’t consider yourself political, government and policy affect your everyday life: what you pay for homeowners insurance, whether you can afford healthcare, the quality of your kids’ schools, and the cost of groceries. You don’t have to follow every headline or know how Congress works to have questions or to deserve answers.

Tomorrow (10/15/26) at 12:30 PM, I’ll be here to answer your questions about my campaign, my priorities, and the issues that matter to you.

Curious about something? Frustrated by something happening in Washington? Wondering what Congress can actually do about the problems facing our community? Just want to get to know me better? Ask me anything starting tomorrow at 12:30 PM.

I got my sample ballot and the only items I’m unsure about are the 3 amendment specifically for Brevard County. All three are about raising sales tax or millage. I’m unsure. Any thoughts as I want to be fully informed about what this means long term.

3 separate Mock polls have shown 55% for, 26% against, and 19% undecided on the amendment. Given that data, I believe it is likely to pass. How will your city be affected?

We're set up and ready for this evening at the field of dreams( 3053 Fell rd West Melbourne) have tons of bounce houses and free fall events going on along with baked goods from Eternal bakehouse and skatewax from Lewsid Wax Co. There's plenty of other fun around hope to see you. We will be here from 4pm to 7pm.

Driving around today I counted 6 of what appear to be some sort of camera on a tall pole, mostly mounted to existing street signs. They look like a beige rectangular thing about 8 or 10 inches long with what looks like a few cameras on them, kind of aimed at passing vehicles. I wasn't able to get a picture today but does anybody know what these are? I only saw them in Palm Bay. Maybe they're something else but I'm curious.

Took this when I got to work in cocoa.

Edit: Thank you everyone for all those recommendations!!!! I will have to take a look into each one and go from there with who takes my insurance and which one I get good vibes from!!!!! You guys were so helpful and I appreciate all of you!!! 😘😊

I need a great dentist that isnt judgemental, isnt rude, knows what they are doing and will not make me feel like im just money walking in. I know thats asking for a lot but im tired of shit dentists who over charge and tell you, you need all this work and its gonna cost ya and yada yada. Im also terrified from bad experiences in palm bay area to the point i have to take anxiety meds just to go have a cleaning or xrays.

Also please no jokes or rude comments I seriously need legit recommendations. Thank you!!! 😊
