The trials and tribulations of life can toss someone just like you into an uncertain and desperate situation where they find themselves on the streets with no support. Homelessness is not a lifestyle people choose. That is a myth. The truth is it’s a horror show. The trauma that our clients experience every day is almost unbearable to imagine for most of us. Similarly, it’s unbearable for many of them to talk about and relive. We are grateful for those willing to share their story and for those willing to listen and be part of the experience of lifting others up. We encourage you to be part of that experience with us. Visit ChristianServiceCenter.org for ways to get involved.

For the past 50 years, the Christian Service Center has been a provider of social service programs, supporting the weary and worried, lifting up the whole of our Central Florida community. Join us as we evolve into a Comprehensive Day Services provider with solutions-based services. We see hundreds of people every day. We help them with food, clothing, and other basic necessities, all toward the end result of getting them to a safe place in their lives where they are no longer experiencing homelessness, where they are in a full-time job, and where they have the appropriate health care they need to sustain themselves for a very long and happy life. We accomplish this by coordinating care with campus partners, dedicated staff and volunteers, bridging the gap for our neighbors in need to get them off the “carousel of chaos” that is homelessness.

The Love Pantry is a project of the Christian Service Center for Central Florida to provide struggling families with emergency food distributed through a group of elementary schools. Each pilot project school will be provided with a lockable cabinet stocked with the food items identified as the most common in demand for families. When a student/family is in need, the school's staff member can go to the cabinet to provide enough food for one or several family meals, along with valuable community resource information.

We welcome you to connect with us and learn how you can become part of our mission. Together, we can continue to make West Orange County a great place to live, for all of us. Learn more at ChristianServiceCenter.org
