The Institute’s Mission
The new institute, which Bergel calls the “Palm Beach Gardens Poverty Initiative” (PBGPI), is dedicated to providing support and resources to individuals and families struggling with poverty. The organization will offer a range of services, including food assistance, job training, and access to healthcare.
Key Initiatives

- Job Training and Placement: The organization will offer job training programs and placement services, helping individuals gain the skills and experience they need to secure employment.
- Healthcare Access: PBGPI will work to increase access to healthcare for low-income individuals and families, providing resources and support to help them navigate the healthcare system.
Bergel’s Vision
Bergel envisions a future where poverty is no longer a barrier to success. “We need to create a society where everyone has access to the opportunities they need to thrive,” he said. “That means providing support and resources to those struggling, as well as addressing the root causes of poverty.”
