Christian Service Center for the Homeless

We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of generosity during our matching gift campaign.

Thanks to the commitment of 5 families who contributed a base amount of $82,500, an amazing 222 donors stepped forward and gave an additional $145,931.95.

Together, we are blessed to have raised a total of $228,431.95.

Every gift helps us continue meeting our neighbors with dignity, compassion, and practical support, from meals and day services to housing-focused solutions that help people move from crisis toward stability. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make this campaign such a success.

Our food pantry shelves are running low, and we need your help to restock them for our neighbors in need!

Most-needed items include canned soups, pasta and pasta sauce, peanut butter, canned vegetables, and cereal.

Hundreds of people use our food pantry each month, and this program relies entirely on donations from our community. As we head into the summer months, our shelves can get especially low, making every donated item even more important.

Donations can be dropped off at 808 W. Central Blvd. through the Suite 1 entrance, Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm.

Want to help even more? If your church, business, school, neighborhood, or community group is interested in organizing a food drive, please reach out to [email protected].

Policing Poverty Join the conversation on understanding law enforcement through the lens of homelessness!

Last week, our team had the privilege of receiving a check from Giving Machine Florida in support of our programs here at the Christian Service Center.

We are so grateful to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the dedicated volunteers who helped run the entire Giving Machine process, and for everyone who showed up to the Giving Machines to give back to our community.

Because of this generosity, we'll be able to provide socks and underwear to our unsheltered guests, weather protection from the summer heat, meals through our Daily Bread program, and support for shelter and housing.

Thank you for making this possible!

We are in urgent need of men’s pants, waist sizes 29 and up!

Clean, gently used or new items can be dropped off at 808 W. Central Blvd. through the Suite 1 entrance, Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm.

Each pair meets an immediate, practical need for someone working to rebuild their life.
