Christian Sharing Center Inc.
Mission
The Sharing Center's mission is to provide dignified solutions for those experiencing poverty and homelessness in Central Florida. Through a holistic approach, The Sharing Center operates five lifesaving programs that address the immediate and long-term needs of the community. The Family Support Program offers direct financial assistance to help stabilize families facing housing, utility, or transportation challenges. The Oasis provides essential hygiene services, including showers, laundry, and clothing, for individuals experiencing homelessness. ProjectRISE empowers individuals through job readiness, financial literacy, and educational support, helping them achieve long-term self-sufficiency. The Pantry, the largest in Seminole County, ensures food security for thousands of families by providing fresh and nutritious groceries. Additionally, The Sharing Center offers no-cost mental health counseling to support emotional and psychological well-being. These vital programs are supported by a robust social enterprise retail program, which includes a thrift shop, furniture store, and boutique. Proceeds from the retail operations are reinvested directly into the organization's mission, allowing The Sharing Center to maximize its impact, provide sustainable solutions, and create a stronger, healthier community.
