THE MISSION: Restoring hope to individuals impacted
by homelessness by providing basic needs such as
showers, clean laundry, remedial aid and a higher quality
of mindfulness. By meeting these needs, we will motivate
these individuals to progressive movement.
WHAT WE DO: Share the love of Christ to the homeless
community by meeting certain necessities that often go
overlooked. Why we want to do it: The state of Florida
ranks 3rd out of the 5 states that contribute to nearly HALF
of the nation’s homeless population. In the census last
year, Florida accounted for more than 45,000 homeless
persons, not counting children. Orlando gave a count of
over 2,900 individuals impacted by homelessness. We
feel that this has become an issue that we can no longer
ignore. The only way to end this is to take action.
SHOWERS: The purpose of our shower program is to
refresh the bodies of homeless individuals. Our program
gives individuals an opportunity to walk with dignity.
Our goal for showers is to purchase a mobile shower
suite so that we can provide showers on a full-time basis.
LAUNDRY: Our laundry program is to provide a safe
place for our clients to wash their clothes. We provide the
location and any resources needed to perform laundry
duties. In partnership with Thornton Park Coin Laundry.
REMEDIAL AID: We equip homeless individuals with
hygiene products & items to protect them from the
harsh elements that occur in Florida.
TAKE ACTION: We are seeking out others who are tired
of turning their eyes away to those in need. How you can
help, visit our site at wwwStreetTeamOrlando.org and
Donate to assist in the purchase of a Mobile Hygiene Unit
needed to retrofit with individual restroom stalls that will
give relief on the go.
We need your help with Remedial Aid donations, such as,
toothpaste, razors, toilet paper, etc...
If you are a Laundry Facility owner, would you be willing to
operate out of business hours or host a wash block specially
for the homeless. We need people willing to be the “Hands
and feet to the streets” of Orlando.
