Overview

Mission

Transformed lives leading to stronger families and real life in Christ

What it reported doing in 2024

The Benevolence Center, founded in 1991, serves more than 3,350 individuals with food, clothing, and other vital needs each month, including approximately fourteen tons of food each week. The center provides enough food to all 4 of its residential ministries to prepare over 90,000 meals each year to those living on and visiting its campus. In addition, the Benevolence Center offers vouchers through the City of Leesburg for utility assistance when funds are available. 38,264 needy individuals received some form of assistance throughout the year. Additionally, The Fresh Start Job Program began operation in 2008 as a volunteer program. It is designed to provide help and assistance to individuals who are unemployed and seeking re-employment. Job referrals, career counseling, resume development and computerized job searches are available either by personal appointments or on-line by computer access. The need for help, assistance and direction is increasing daily and will continue for some time as individuals in the community continue to struggle with unemployment. Last year the Organization assisted 226 people finding jobs in Lake County.
