Free Meals, Showers, and Support — Every Day in Orlando
If you need a hot meal, a shower, clean clothes, or a place to receive your mail, you can get it here. Christian Service Center's day center is open seven days a week in the Parramore neighborhood near downtown Orlando. You do not need an appointment. You do not need to explain yourself. Just come.
Our day center serves people who are experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis. Everything listed on this page is free. We are here because everyone deserves a safe place to reset and keep going.
Everything Available at Our Day Center
Daily Bread is our free meal program. We serve lunch and dinner seven days a week — 150 people at lunch and 150 people at dinner. That is more than 2,000 meals every week, every month, all year. You do not need an ID or a referral to eat. Come as you are.

A Place to Receive Your Mail
Not having a home address makes almost everything harder — job applications, benefits, medical appointments, legal mail. Our mail services give you a place to receive important correspondence even when you do not have a permanent address.
About 500 people use our mail services every day. If you need a reliable address to receive mail in Orlando, you can register here and start receiving letters and packages at our Parramore location.
