Appetites unite us all, so sharing food is a starting point for building community. Working together with our church network and volunteers throughout the community, HOPE South Florida was able to provide
31,850 shared meals for homeless individuals through our Taste HOPE program.
Currently, 4 lead churches and volunteers from dozens of various churches provide a shared meal for upwards of
150- 200 men, women, and children at least three nights every week.
31,850 meals shared
As any one of our meal guests or volunteers wil l tel l you. It’s so much more than a meal. For those that serve and come to be served it’s community, comfort and HOPE. Don’t take our word for it, come out and experience it for yourself – taste HOPE as you GiveHOPE.
