Who We Serve

Based in the Four Corners area of Central Florida, where Lake, Osceola, Orange and Polk Counties come together, we look to our surrounding communities to see who might need the variety of services we can offer. Beyond Four Corners, we spread our support throughout the four counties. We know any family can find themselves in difficult times, whether it be because of a medical condition, loss of a job or a stressful family situation. It’s not your fault. Sometimes life just deals us a difficult hand.

We’re here to help.

How We Serve

For those who need assistance with feeding their family, we offer a Food Pantry, to make sure everyone gets a nutritious meal, to ensure their on-going well-being. We offer Medical services, when someone in your family is ill, and you can’t afford the traditional trip to the doctor. We can also help you with the SNAP program (aka “Food Stamps”). When trying to improve your financial position, we can help make sure you and your family have the proper clothes you need to get and get a job or a better position with our Clothing Closet. We have a variety of new and lightly used clothes to help supplement your wardrobe. We also can connect you with Horizon Staffing, to help you locate that perfect job.

Sometimes, just getting the legal paperwork together is a challenge. We offer Notary Public services, to make sure all legal forms are properly filled in and filed. Or maybe you are having difficulty finding a place to live that you can afford. We can direct you to resources which will help put a roof over you head, so you have a comfortable place to call home.

When times are tough, family situations can become stressed. That’s why we offer Marriage Counseling, to help bring your family together. Or maybe the kids need some help with school. We offer Tutoring in a variety of subjects.
