Our Mission

Mission and History

In 1986, leaders from 17 churches joined together to serve those experiencing hunger and homelessness. Today, The Sharing Center has grown to become the most comprehensive social services hub in Seminole County.

Core Values

Doing the work is only part of who we are. We are passionate about our purpose and the people we serve. At The Sharing Center, you are met with love and compassion with every interaction and at every level of the organization.

The Sharing Center opens the doors to those experiencing hardships and in need of a helping hand, regardless of faith, gender, creed, or position.

It is our goal to provide those experiencing poverty who come to us for support, as well as our volunteers, store shoppers, donors, community partners, church ambassadors, and everyone connected to our mission with the following:

Center for Hope

Hope begins here. We see to it that individuals and families experiencing poverty receive comprehensive services from the moment they arrive to when they depart.

Our staff and volunteers arrive at our center each day with a purpose and passion for our program participants.

Last year alone, we helped over 13,884 individuals find their hope again and restore faith. It is the caring friends of The Sharing Center – donors, volunteers, shoppers, and ambassadors – who make it possible!
